Gracious Home Adds Two New Creative Team Members

Gracious Home, a New York-based luxury home décor retailer, has expanded its creative team with the appointments of China Young as Creative Director and Carianne Hynes as Divisional Merchandise Manager. Both executives will report directly to company CEO Dottie Mattison.

As Creative Director, Young will be responsible for overseeing Gracious Home’s creative vision. He most recently served as Creative Director of the company he founded, Dubbel Design Studio, where he acquired, rebranded and reestablished 1970s accessories label Dubbel Duffel.

Prior to that, he was Head of Design at Olivet International, where he increased its private label business 30% with brands for Gap, Old Navy and Victoria’s Secret/Pink. Young also co-founded LOOP, where he launched and grew the accessories brand with licensed, branded and private label products, and he has held design positions at Tommy Hilfiger and Old Navy.

Hynes will be responsible for all bed, bath, tabletop and seasonal merchandise in her new role. She most recently served as Director of Sales and Merchandising at Burt’s Bees Baby, and was a founder, VP of Retail and Merchandise Manager at SeaCloth. She previously served as Divisional Merchandise Manager of Bluefly.com, where she was a founding team member.

“China’s proven track record in creating innovative products and business opportunities, and Cari’s extensive luxury home goods background, complement our existing team and align with our commitment to providing expertly curated merchandise that customers can’t find anywhere else,” said Mattison. “Further, China’s expertise in private label will be instrumental as we build our own Gracious Home branded products, while Cari’s early digital experience will prove extremely valuable as we continue to expand our e-Commerce business.”
