Grecia Magdaleno is a designer and artist based in Chicago (with frequent travels to their former home in New York City). Born and raised by Mexican immigrants in the Sonoran Desert, she was the first in her family to receive an undergraduate and graduate degree. Grecia’s work in public policy, organizing, social service administration, and program management has spanned nearly a decade. Throughout her career, she has prioritized using her skills in illustration, writing, and creative direction as a thoughtful and compelling way to accomplish goals and projects.

Currently, Grecia works as a freelance consultant, focusing on projects that align with her values of community, authenticity, and boldness. Whether it’s making custom, hand-lettered party invitations or guiding clients though event planning or interior design, Grecia’s work is a reflection of her love of connecting with people, color, words, travel, and the little things.

In her spare time, you can find her hunting for statement pieces worthy of Architectural Digest, hosting dinner parties with loved ones, crying into their popcorn bag at a movie theater, and hanging out with her girlfriend (now fiancé!?) and doggie Dawson (affectionately named after the 90s show they both bonded over). Oh yeah, and writing that never-ending manuscript.
