LIVE EXPERIENCES. PRINTED WORKS. VISUAL CULTURE.

Transforming stories into lasting visual experiences.

ABOUT

Grace Arnott-Hayes is a London-based designer, concept artist and printmaker exploring storytelling through live performance, printmaking and visual culture.

Whether experienced for one night on stage or collected for a lifetime as a print, every project begins with the same intention: to tell a story that people can feel.

Working across performance, music and contemporary printmaking, she creates work that transforms moments into lasting visual experiences. Whether designing for an arena tour or hand-printing a limited edition lino cut, her practice is guided by the same belief: that visual storytelling creates emotional connection.

Grace joined FRAY Studio in 2021 after previously working as a Digital Designer at PlayStation. She holds a BA in Graphic Design Communication from Chelsea College of Arts and an MA in Visual Communication from the Royal College of Art, where she developed an interest in experimental media, visual narrative and audience experience.

Her commercial work spans live music, theatre and immersive performance, contributing to projects including Glass Animals, Laufey, Fontaines D.C., Back to the Future: The Musical, Boop! The Musical, and productions with the Royal Opera House, Almeida Theatre and Cirque du Soleil.

Alongside her commercial practice, Grace develops an independent studio focused on limited-edition printmaking, painting and visual research. Her artwork explores music, memory and cultural iconography, creating handcrafted pieces that celebrate the stories and people who shape our collective experience.

Across every project, from stage to studio, her work begins with the same question:

How can an image make someone feel something?
