our story

  Grain of Sand was born from lived experience. 

it’s a reminder that even the smallest irritations can be transformed into something meaningful. Like a pearl formed under pressure, resilience grows when we choose to respond with intention.

if you’ve ever felt stretched thin, unseen, or quietly carrying more than your share, you’re not alone. Grain of Sand is for those who had no choice but to build resilience under pressure.

Hi, I’m Jennifer — welcome. I’m the founder of Grain of Sand, a brand created to support those who’ve walked through dark days and are discovering just how far they can go. Midwest-based, we create thoughtful apparel and home goods—uplifting pieces meant to offer encouragement, strength, and a little lightness along the way.

This brand is woman-owned, values-driven, and rooted in the belief that something beautiful can emerge from the hardest seasons.

Welcome to the tribe.  

Jennifer
