Grace Crawford is the founder of KENA., a swimwear brand born out of resilience and passion during an unexpected setback. In the winter of 2023, an injury sidelined Grace during her junior semester of college, giving her the downtime to transform her love for swimwear into a reality. Driven by a vision to create stylish yet affordable swimwear, she designed KENA. to inspire confidence and offer timeless, elegant pieces that young women can appreciate and rely on. With her first collections launching this season and many more exciting designs on the way, Grace’s journey with KENA. is just beginning. Through her contributions to Charleston Grit, she shares the story behind her brand and her dedication to creating swimwear that celebrates resilience, style, and the pursuit of dreams.
