Hello, I'm Grace Vania
It's time for you to get to know me a bit more. I am Grace Vania, born and raised in Indonesia and currently staying in Melbourne, Australia.
I have always loved drawing and have been doing it ever since I was a kid. I took drawing lessons and, for as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to build my own shop.
After I graduated with a diploma degree, Covid struck, and we were all forced to stay at home. Because of all this uncertainty and having no plans on how to continue my studies, I decided to start my small business.
Why "In Our Wilderness"?
I chose the name 'In Our Wilderness' for my business. I wanted it to reflect the journey of life, which can often feel like a wilderness with its twists and challenges. Through my characters, products, and illustrations, I aim to be a source of positivity and light, a reminder that no matter the path we're on, we can always find moments of joy and support, and that we're never truly alone in our wilderness.
I came up with Mauvey first, the blue-haired girl that you can easily spot π. As I felt like she was lonely, I created three new characters to accompany her. I started by making stickers only, and now I have keychains, pins, laptop sleeves, and hopefully many more products in the future.
Keep in touch with me, and let's hang out in the wilderness together π·
