Mary Grace Stanley pulls double-duty on the CMH team, serving as the firm’s Creative Designer and IT Manager. When she is not busy designing CMH’s marketing materials, from print ads to social media posts, she handles the firm’s software updates, computer issues, and other technical matters.

The Fairhope, Alabama, native channeled her love of art into Graphic Design, pursuing her BFA at Auburn University in 2020. While there, she discovered another artistic avenue that also sated her technical and analytical brain, earning her Masters in Industrial Design in 2023. Seeing her talent for solving tech issues, the university put Mary Grace to work in IT during her time there.

It’s this strategic side of Mary Grace that she takes into the ring as a boxer. “My favorite thing about it is the mental game against your opponent, like playing chess, but with higher stakes,” she explains of the interplay of minds in the sport she loves. This curiosity and willingness to work with people to seek creative design and tech solutions is what makes her shine at CMH, not to mention her ever-present smile. “I draw a lot of inspiration from working with people around me. I think collaboration is the key to amazing finished projects,” she says. “I hope to help all the people in the office whenever possible and as quickly as I can … and to win a world title belt—at least one if not multiple.” Spoken like a true champion.
