About The Gracewell Studio

Where artful living
meets well-being.

A studio, a shop, and a magazine, woven into one. A family built home for creativity, healing, and a life lived with intention.

Family Built Handmade in New York Five Paths
An open invitation

All of you is
welcome here.

I am Kristina. Nurse. Minister. Reiki Master. Artist. Mother. For most of my life I kept these parts of me in separate rooms. Then I built one studio where they all live together. Welcome to Gracewell.

Gracewell is many things woven into one. A studio. A shop. A magazine. A discovery journey laid out in five paths for you to wander.

We are a family, and a proudly neurodivergent crew. We create in our own spectacular way, let joy lead, follow curiosity, and share what helps.

We make beautiful, one of a kind bags, totes, and notebook covers from upcycled materials. We make Tinker Cubes for busy hands and curious minds. And we write reflections from a life actually lived. Every piece is one of a kind. So is the person who carries it home.

Mission and vision

The intention behind
everything we make.

Our Mission

To create a wellness ecosystem where healing, creativity, and intentional living meet, and where every person who enters finds a path that feels like it was made for them.

Our Vision

A world where people live fully and authentically. Where wellness is woven into the everyday through art, community, honest reflection, and the things we make and carry and share with one another.

Our Promise

To show up with warmth, honesty, and creativity. To make things that matter. To build community that holds. To grow this space in a way that honors every person who finds their way here.

What we stand for

Our values, lived not performed.

01

Intentional Living

The way we live our days is the way we live our lives. Every choice, every creation, every path at Gracewell is made with intention.

02

Authenticity

We do not perform wellness here. We practice it. Real stories, real joy. You are welcome exactly as you are.

03

Creativity as Healing

Making things is medicine. A bag, a journal entry, a Tinker Cube in restless hands. Creativity is one of the most powerful wellness tools we have.

04

Community and Connection

We were not made for isolation. Gracewell is a gathering place, a group of people who see each other, lift each other, and show up for each other.

05

Sustainability and Purpose

We upcycle. We repurpose. We breathe new life into what others set aside. Nothing is wasted. Everything has worth.

06

Joy as a Practice

Joy is a compass, a practice, and a birthright. We let it lead. It is woven into everything we make and every path we build.

Love notes

They came. They stayed.
They want you to know.

This bag is the perfect blend of practicality, charm, and craftsmanship. From the moment I held it in my hands, I could feel the care and attention poured into every detail. What truly sets it apart is how personal it feels. It is a statement piece that was made just for me. Every time I take it out, I get compliments, and I gush about how it is both beautiful and built to last.

Catherine
Gracewell Tote

I love the cube. It is calming and fun to play with. When I am doing tasks at my desk I often use it with one hand and it improves my focus. A trip to the Gracewell website is a great reminder to reflect, create, and take care of yourself.

Victoria
Tinker Cube

I am very happy to have an upcycled cover for my Kindle. It feels like an extension of myself and I get compliments for how it matches my aesthetic. If someone wants something unique and handmade with intention, Gracewell is the place.

Amalia
Kindle Cover

I love the design, it is beautiful. And I love knowing it is a way of reusing and repurposing fabric. The size and the pockets inside make it really versatile. I would absolutely recommend Gracewell.

Joanie
Studio Tote

I purchased several Tinker Cubes and my grandchildren love them. My notebook cover is bright and beautiful. I have a small bag and a large bag, both fabulous. Best quality. One of a kind. All the products are just fantastic.

Márel
Tinker Cubes, Notebook Cover and Bags

Yes, this was easy. And I can not wait to order another.

Nick
Tinker Cube

I gave it to my daughter as a gift and she loves it. I would recommend Gracewell to anyone looking for something unique and meaningful.

Real people. Real pieces. Real stories. Yours is waiting.

Come find your
path.

Five paths wind through this studio. You do not have to walk them all. Just find the one that calls to you, and wander in.

Go gracefully. 🤍
