My Story
Hi, I'm Grayce.
I'm the founder of Grayce Place, and I'm so happy you're here.
I was born & raised in Brooklyn, New York, where I learned the value of hard work and resilience. Growing up in such a diverse community shaped my perspective and taught me so much about hard work and sacrifice.
For more than 30 years, I dedicated my career to animal welfare, working for two of New York City's largest nonprofit organizations. It was meaningful work centered on giving vulnerable animals a second chance. When I retired, I knew I wasn't finished creating something that made a difference—I was simply ready for a new chapter.
That's how Grayce Place was born.
What started with an embroidery machine, DTF printer, and a dream has grown into a business built on purpose. I create custom embroidered apparel and gifts that celebrate life's meaningful moments from schools and small businesses to family keepsakes and everyday favorites. Every piece is made with care because I know the memories behind each order matter.
My rescue Labradoodle, Boujee, is my sweet boy and he is my daily reminder that second chances can lead to something beautiful.
Grayce Place isn't just another t-shirt shop or just about embroidery—it's about creating pieces that people will wear, gift, and treasure for years to come.
Thank you for supporting my small business and allowing me to be a small part of your story.
