The story behind our name
In the early days of Instagram, our founder was in art school and working as a welder part time. When she decided to begin sharing her work, a friend suggested the handle “grease + glitter” because Kate’s hands were always greasy but never without her signature glitter nail polish. All these years later, the name is still at the heart of Kate’s work. It speaks to a balance between grit and glam: the power of good design and strategy paired with technical skill and hard work.
