AnnaGrace grew up in northwest Louisiana's Shreveport-Bossier area, where her early love for design and drawing first took root. She began her studies in engineering at Louisiana Tech University but soon realized the field lacked the creative outlet she was seeking. 

Drawn back to her childhood fascination with making floor plans for fun, she shifted her focus to architecture and went on to earn her Bachelor of Architectural Studies. Her passion for travel has profoundly shaped her perspective as a designer. From visiting major U.S. cities—including New Orleans, Chicago, and Los Angeles—to spending time in Korea, Italy, and Germany, AnnaGrace has developed a deep appreciation for how culture, context, and history inform the built environment. These experiences reinforce her belief that thoughtful design has the power to connect people and place. 

Now part of GFM Architects, AnnaGrace is eager to grow her professional experience and contribute to projects that embody creativity, craft, and purpose.
