Meet the Mermaids: Alexis
'Tis the season to be jolly, and all is merry and bright here in the studio. We can't wait to kick back and relax with loved ones, and we're so grateful for the camaraderie and the bonds of sisterhood of our Grit & Grace family as we sail through these last few days until Christmas.
Today, we're celebrating one of our happiest and most cheerful Grit & Grace ladies: Alexis!
Everyone needs a friend that makes you laugh, no matter what, and Alexis is that friend to Grit & Grace Studio. This gorgeous mermaid brings so much creativity, positive energy, and unique sparkle to our Flagship store!
Alexis is also incredibly talented, compassionate, and hardworking, and she is the personal shopping guru behind our personally curated gift baskets this holiday season. We hope you enjoy getting to know Alexis, just as we have!
Grit & Grace Family: Alexis
How did you find your way to Grit & Grace Studio?
Through our awesome community. I worked as an ophthalmic assistant/ stenographer for the past 6 years, and my heart was just never in it. And I found Grit & Grace Studio, and my heart has never been happier.
What do you do at Grit & Grace?
I am a production artist. So I get to paint and craft and put my love into the oysters!
You’re currently helping clients curate gift boxes. Tell us about that! What’s the most rewarding aspect of this task?
I love hearing about their loved ones, and I get to help them put that love into a gift. That makes my heart happy. I get to meet pretty amazing people from all over that come into the shop. I think that is pretty awesome!
