ELISE GRAY

Hello there! Thanks for stopping to my site. My name is Elise Gray, I am a fashion designer based in Columbus, OH with a focus on women's ready to wear. I've known I wanted to be a fashion designer since the age of 8 years old. I've been sketching clothes since I could hold a pencil and sewing since the age of 14 when I got my first sewing machine.
My passion is for fashion and justice--specifically justice for victims and survivors of human trafficking. I have been working with trafficking survivors on a volunteer basis and full time since 2023. In April 2024, I went on a creative sabbatical to pursue my other passion- working with survivors of trafficking to heal from their trauma and teaching them life skills-such as sewing! 
When I'm not designing clothes, I love trying new coffee shops, reading, baking with sourdough, and learning how to play golf with my partner. 
To get to know me a little better here is a moodboard of me!
