Meet the Maker

I'm Melody, and I'm the owner of Grace & Grain Design Company. This business started in 2020 when I left my job as a NICU RN to stay home with our kids. My family has owned a sign and graphics business for many years, and I was fortunate to grow up learning that trade. As a kid I had even always talked about having my own business, my own specialty to compliment theirs, and now it was time to bring that dream to reality.

I turned to my years of design and business experience, bought a laser, and launched this brand. The early years were filled with lots of custom requests as well as products to preserve handwriting, which I still enjoy. I found that one thing I loved, though, was having the ability to make a simple gift to encourage a friend using the tools at my disposal in my business. I realized it was something other people looked for too - affordable and simple products that were still quality, easy to send, and featuring truth from the Word of God or something meaningful to the recipient. Gifts that are good for the small business that makes them, the giver, and the recipient. Gifts that don't get thrown away. I focus a lot of my time on that now. 🤍

A little about me personally - I have three sweet girls who are my certified product testers and helpers. Learning about running a business is absolutely a part of their homeschool journey, just as it was mine. We also enjoy living a "homestead-ish" life, growing and making lots of our own food, and are currently building a house on larger property to do more of that.

This business has served as a provision to our family financially, a joy to me creatively, and (by God's grace) a blessing to many who have received these products as gifts. What a pleasure it is to have a small part in sweet people blessing their friends or preparing for special times in their lives. I'd love to help you do the same!
