About Greco Design

I’m Lori. I’m an artist and designer. I create watercolors, graphics and designs and incorporate my art to make pretty and unique gifts. Like these sets of positivity cards, watercolor calendars or these pretty home decor items.

I also create personalized items including home watercolor paintings, bar menu signs and these custom directional watercolor signs. I'm continually adding new pieces and I'm also happy to create a custom piece for you. Follow me on Instagram to see more of my work and reach out to me directly with any ideas or projects you need.

Here's a little about my background:

I started Greco Design as a “brick and mortar” temporary pop-up shop in June 2021, funded by a state grant intending to generate small business after Covid. After six months as a pop-up, I decided to stay and become a permanent shop. I loved having my little shop and interacting with the community. And although I was thriving creatively, I decided to close my shop this May mostly because developing my product line and creating my custom orders were keeping me quite busy that it didn't allow me the time to run the shop properly. Even though my shop doors have closed, I'm continuing to create my items online, expand my products, and I'm focusing on getting my items into other shops. I also am still taking custom orders - I absolutely love creating these one-of-a-kind meaningful pieces!!

But my story begins way before my little shop existed. I worked as a Graphic Designer at an ad agency in Boston for over 10 years then started my own freelance graphic design business in 2000 when my kids were born. My freelance clients included White Elephant Hotel on Nantucket, Topper’s Restaurant, Babson College, Wenham Pines, Linden Square, and The Cottages on Nantucket. I created all the branding and marketing materials for these companies and got to work around my busy family schedule. And it was busy! While freelancing, I started a blog in 2015 and began exploring my passion for creativity in different ways; writing, DIYing, watercolor painting, home design consulting, and wood working to name a few. My fan base broadened and custom orders were growing. I transitioned from the corporate environment into more personal custom design work that included wood signs, small business branding, custom paintings and gifts, event materials and signage, and home decor. I loved this new creative variety and quickly realized there was a market for my work with a growing customer base. When the opportunity came to open a shop in 2021, it was the perfect time - and Franklin Center was the perfect location for this dream to become a reality.

Greco Design evolved in large part due to customer feedback and the wonderful relationships I developed over the years. My mission is and always has been to create unique items that give customers meaningful, purposeful and beautiful solutions to their needs - and just bringing joy to day to day life.

I hope you’ll find something that speaks to you or reach out to me to create a custom piece. Maybe it’s a wood sign with a cherished saying. Or a hand painted watercolor print that fills your home with sweet memories. Or a meaningful, pretty gift. Whatever your needs, I'm happy to help. Thank you for visiting!
