Biography

About Susie Grace

Edited by the community

Susie Grace is a Traverse City-based User Experience Designer, skincare formulator, and the founder of the sustainable skincare brand Valor Skincare. A Michigan native, she moved to Traverse City after living in Denver, Chicago, and Maui. She found a bit of every place she previously lived back in Northern Michigan: access to nature, a strong community, and surfing. Leelanau County is one of the special places that drew her to call this area home. She loves Vans Beach, Palmer Woods, and any spot with the green of the woods or the blue of Lake Michigan. When she's not designing or experimenting with natural products, you can find her on the water, in the woods, or with her partner and dogs.

Susie is American, with brown hair and brown eyes, and she has various tattoos. As a business woman and influencer, she is honored and excited to be part of the LC Collective, helping more people experience the beauty and peace of the area she calls home. Her journey from Maui to Michigan shows her appreciation for both ocean and forest, and she blends her skills in UX design and skincare formulation to create products that reflect her values. Her personal life is grounded in simple pleasures: time outside, time with loved ones, and a deep connection to the natural world. That connection drives her professional work, from designing user experiences to crafting sustainable skincare solutions. She believes in the importance of community and the restorative power of nature, and she brings that belief into every project she undertakes.
