Grace Fuller Marroquin’s love for horticulture and garden design started as a child growing up in Philadelphia and Rome. From a young age she was inspired by her mother, an artist and active gardener who incorporated nature into her photography. In 2006, during a high school apprenticeship at the University of Hawaii’s Botanical Garden in Manoa Valley, Fuller Marroquin deepened her attachment to the natural world around her. 

After graduating from the University of Miami with a degree in sociology and photojournalism, Fuller Marroquin began her career in the fashion industry—first as a fashion editor at Vogue and later as the jewelry editor at W magazine. While at W, she launched CINQUE, a limited-run fashion line of highly crafted robe coats. Leveraging her experience in the creative and visual fields, in 2018 Fuller Marroquin decided to exit the fashion space to pursue a long-held interest in landscapes and gardening.

She studied at the New York Botanical Garden’s School of Horticulture, where she completed her Landscape Design Certification. 

Since launching Grace Fuller Design, Fuller Marroquin has taken on various commercial and private projects around the world, collaborating with artisans, architects, and other designers to bring her creative visions to life. Her romantic and wild approach to landscape design is driven by a responsible stewardship for her client’s land. She serves on the board of the Perfect Earth Project, founded by Edwina von Gal.
