Dear MCAD Community,
It is with great sadness that I am sharing the passing of a recent graduate, Grace Niskanen. Grace graduated in May 2026 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Product and Furniture Design. Her creative talents far exceeded her major, which included painting and music. Grace was a creative collaborator, entrepreneur, and close friend to so many.
