Grace is an Austin-based designer, illustrator and educator who has been drawing since she could hold a pencil. She has been at it for over three decades now, illustrating for clients ranging from global corporations to local government agencies. She is especially interested in the way drawing can bring people together, encourage empathy, and address social issues (you can see some of her recent creative research projects on this page).
She is currently a full time Lecturer at Texas State University and spends her free time binging TV shows, training at the gym, and spoiling her elderly cat.
