Design*Sponge is a design blog run by Grace Bonney. Launched in August of 2004, the site updates between 6-8 times per day and was declared a “Martha Stewart Living for the Millennials” by the New York Times. Grace has a unique angle on the industry, having worked as a contributing editor at Domino, House & Garden and Craft magazines, and as a freelancer with top publications like Food and Wine, In Style, Better Homes and Gardens, New York Magazine, and others.

In addition, Grace also runs a national series of meetups for women running design-based businesses called the D*S Biz Lady Series. Grace hosts and speaks at these events designed to connect women running their own design-based businesses and provide free advice on the subjects of PR/marketing, legal concerns, business/financial decisions and wholesaling.
