Meet the Makers

Meet the Makers: Crafting with Heart and Purpose

At The Grit and Grace Collection, every bar of soap carries a piece of our story—because every step of the process is personal.

What began as a creative outlet during a tough season quickly grew into something that brought new joy into our lives—and into our home.

In our little soap kitchen, we each have our own role.
I’m the creator behind the scenes—the one dreaming up recipes, blending scent profiles, choosing ingredients, naming each bar, and writing the stories that bring them to life. For me, it’s about crafting something meaningful, something others can feel good about using every day.

Gordon is the craftsman. He’s the hands that bring our ideas to life—measuring, mixing, pouring, and swirling every batch with care and precision.

But for Gordon, soapmaking has become more than just a task.
It’s a passion.
It’s a way to focus his mind—something steady, something calming, something grounding.
In the middle of busy days and blended family life, soapmaking offers him space to slow down and center himself. It’s a quiet kind of therapy, one batch at a time.

Some days, he’s more excited to make soap than I am—and watching him pour so much heart into every bar has become one of my favorite parts of this journey.

Every soap we send out into the world carries that shared effort.
My creativity. His craftsmanship.
Both grounded in grit, carried out with grace.

We are so grateful you’re here, supporting a small business that’s truly built with heart.
Thank you for being part of The Grit and Grace Collection—and part of our story.
