Welcome to the team Gretchen

Learn Through Celebration!

While we've been designing stunning and award winning children's parties at 38north Design Co. (formerly Stacey & Company) for almost 20 years, we sometimes felt we needed a little more EXPERTISE in the HANDS ON activities and wanted someone who LOVED kids on the team. Our dreams came true when Gretchen reached out looking to see if there might be a spot for her at 38north. And the answer was YES!

So we're excited to introduce KID APPROVED FESTIVITIES - curated with play and learning in mind! Same spectacular design and styling our clients love, but now each of the activities and experiences will be mapped out by our expert on kids. Not only will these elements be FUN, they will be age + developmentally-appropriate, keep the kiddos entertained AND they'll also support your child’s growth and development! What more can you ask for at your child’s next birthday party?!

Our dedicated team will partner with you to ensure the festivities are perfectly suited to your child's ideas and interests! From there, we will orchestrate every detail, from developmentally-appropriate activities and decorations to delicious local food and beverage (that both kids and adults will enjoy) ensuring a seamless and fun-filled event for you and your little one.

Gretchen Aubel joins our crew with over 10 years of experience working with young children, including prior work at the Bay Area Discovery Museum and their onsite preschool, The Discovery School. She holds a Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and a Master’s in Early Childhood Education from the University of Colorado - Denver. Her education and experience not only informs her designs as our Kid Approved event specialist, but it also inspires her to create new and innovative parties for children. She believes all children deserve high quality, beautiful experiences, and therefore prioritizes activities and decor that include natural materials and colors, as well as quality tools and useful party favors! In her free time, Gretchen enjoys hiking by the Bay, baking seasonal treats, and attending local trivia nights!
