Jackson and Gryffin are the main party guinea pigs at Merry + Grace, (not that they’re complaining). They are constantly throwing out theme ideas and making sure the cupcakes are on point.
I originally went to school for Marketing and after graduating with my degree, realized that constantly moving didn’t help my career at all. After having my first baby, I decided to branch out on my own and create MKKM Designs, with my sister Kara, in July of 2012. In December of 2019, we rebranded to Merry + Grace.
What started, on a whim, with a few nursery prints, has become a design company that inspires over 400K people a month over on Pinterest. We want to help the everyday person create swoon-worthy events, while being time and budget friendly. Finding cute party decor overseas is hard. Our printables make personalized parties easy.
