Dollhou3e

Grace Ryan is an artist and designer focused on creating moments of self, community, and place connection through art-based garments and furniture. Grace’s brand, Dollhou3e, is awakened through daily observation of the city of Seattle and invites viewers to enter her imagination and see the ordinary transformed into the extraordinary.

As the founder of Dollhou3e, fashion for future makers, Grace has designed garments for WNBA players and musical artists, collaborated with celebrity stylists, and shown photography at Base Camp Studios 1. Harnessing her design expertise, Grace also advises and supports the safety of mechanics at global aircraft manufacturer Boeing through ergonomic tool design. Grace has a B.S. degree in Industrial Design from Virginia Tech, where she received the Calhoun Grant to participate in the Calhoun Honors Discovery Program. Grace has cultivated a unique perspective and style by taking a visionary response to contemporary urban realities.

Grace’s primary inspirations are graffiti, layered advertisement wheat pastings, nature reclaiming urban structures, human habits, and interactions. This year, Grace plans to produce her second collection with Dollhou3e, exploring societies’ relationship to physical timelines through human-made matter. She will also continue growing her influence in the arts community by inspiring Seattleites to engage with and nourish the vibrant and growing energy of the Seattle downtown art scene.
