I'M GRACE.
Yes, I am in my 50s!
A GenX IT consultant mom blending digital creativity with entrepreneurship, proving it’s never too late to thrive and build your own business.
I was enjoying my bubble of five decades of happy, contented life, comfortably with my ever-evolving technology full-time tech job--until I hit my fifty.
What started as the love for content creation to capture my milestone with my 30 years of friendship on our golden trip, the reclaimed time from having grown-up sons, and wanting to travel more, gave me the idea of putting my passion and decades of experience in this business.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE...
Age shouldn't stop you from dreaming and reinventing yourself. Check out how I started, navigated, and found myself in the digital space.
Watch who keeps me inspired and supported day in and day out, apart from my very supportive family and friends.
