Krystina Grammatica is not your ordinary Greek-American. Neither is she your ordinary designer, your ordinary music selector, your ordinary dancer, or your ordinary teacher. Every aspect of her dynamic life is commanded by the EXTRAordinary.

Drawing her creative fuel from a childhood in Greece and subsequent upbringing in Brooklyn, she has graced California with her unstoppable energy for six years and counting. It explains the sudden boom in population around here... People seem to gravitate to both her contagious charm and the tangible products of her creativity.

In addition to her rich sense of humor, her keen ear for music and her creative culinary skills, she is an unusual and exceptional designer whose light shines through every seam of her custom-made purses, recycled from everything imaginable.

Ms. Grammatica has a knack for bringing out the best in everyone and everything around her. She's the kind of woman you want to meet on a bus, the kind of woman you want to roadtrip with, the kind of woman you don't mind your ex-boyfriend dating. And she's absolutely the kind of woman whose charm you want to carry around on your shoulder.

Grammatique is available at Magpie boutique and gallery in South Park as well as Tred Air in Hillcrest.
