about the founder
Aleona Lund is a multidisciplinary designer, musician, blogger photographer, writer, digital content creator, entrepreneur, dental professional, and creative director based in Minnesota.
She is the founder and CEO of The Grace + Grain Co., as well as the founder of Almost Ready Ally (ARA)—a creative platform known for its travel guides, lifestyle content, photography, design work, and storytelling.
While ARA celebrates creativity through travel, blogging, and visual storytelling, Grace + Grain was created to bring those same values into tangible products that people can hold, gift, wear, and cherish.
Together, the two brands share a common mission:
To create work that is thoughtful, beautiful, and rooted in purpose.
Aleona’s background in design influences every collection, with each product carefully crafted to balance timeless aesthetics, meaningful messages, and lasting quality.

Her Philosophy
At Grace + Grain, we believe that:
* Beauty should have purpose.
* Faith can quietly shape everyday moments.
* Quality is always worth pursuing.
* Simplicity never goes out of style.
* The things we surround ourselves with should remind us of truth, hope, and grace.
Whether you’re decorating your home, choosing a meaningful gift, or finding your new favorite sweatshirt, our hope is that every piece serves as a gentle reminder to slow down and appreciate the beauty woven into ordinary life.

From Our Studio to Your Home
We’re honored to be a small part of your story, and we hope the pieces you find here become part of yours for years to come.
