I’m Grace. I’m a designer and instructor with 10+ years of experience in art direction, illustration and graphic design. I’ve taught other people of all ages about these things too! I love to collaborate with teams to navigate the creative process. Currently I work at EVERFI as Senior Visual Designer. Our team creates imagery that breaks down tough concepts and tells stories for our K-12 and adult education products. More about me? Well…aside from all that, I serve on the board of directors at the Coalition Theater where I’ve taught and performed comedy since 2013. http://www.madebymanno.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-03-03 http://www.madebymanno.com/performacewithpurpose daily 0.75 2019-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551630030673-6ALGE62VT4OYJ6317UXE/pattern+image.png New Page - ASAP | Performance With Purpose Event Branding and Materials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551636027372-YEQ90R027PZLU7QAG4XM/performance+with+purpose+facebook+design New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551636458894-ZZO8AKF6AJTHE69OKHSM/M_S-A_headshot.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551636459679-FW9CO5CKFXHV9KVNXBK3/S_sullivan_headshot.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551636460736-YJMH8WJ6S8S5CUUC5DLW/k_Howard_headshot.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551636461161-U1NPIBPCDWN6ON2M36MH/A_keys_headshot_2.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551636460463-GQEX084NEIRNZBQMR5KF/Elliot+Ackerman.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551636459618-EXHASVCXAFLB2DT2K70G/M_Crichlow_headshot.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551643936865-I3W6MW92C1V9YY8WWGS7/veterans+event+performance+blue+printed+program New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551634096694-R20BQU6KOA3ZTME1B4D2/Screen+Shot+2019-03-03+at+11.27.56+AM.png New Page http://www.madebymanno.com/elbydukes-mayonnaise-jars daily 0.75 2019-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551645242157-9Y8JBT0PCEJXE3HNWRN5/IMG_0921.JPG ElbyDuke's Mayonnaise Jars https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551645242949-2Z81K362ZR7KGQJDIKN6/Me_and_dukejar.gif ElbyDuke's Mayonnaise Jars https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551645445236-MMPIB6KI4W708H8T9TOV/breijo+cinnamon+buns.jpg ElbyDuke's Mayonnaise Jars https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551645572586-SI5NWI4X1T3FKDESFWCF/image-asset.jpeg ElbyDuke's Mayonnaise Jars - The 2016 Elby Awards | Props for the Ceremony Handmade with love! http://www.madebymanno.com/richmondmagazine daily 0.75 2019-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551647314312-IPIFUNJNV8LQ4UAVPZC6/page+one+illustrations New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551647279459-SLHRPY1CFMIYQL9R6YB7/page2illos New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551648612814-04FOECQ5JWJ640QIZ94K/western.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551648611550-ZREARC94LSGLVF8PB7A0/trendsetter.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551648618769-LAP3QJSPS5P4A2OQQSRG/tactician.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551648615542-9SMG1F0J2GV9D9SKARGV/luxury.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551648617908-8CXQLPQUAVP06BUSZ9WW/cityslicker.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551648861766-ML8LEZT809VA2052V1E5/richmag_background.jpg New Page - Richmond Magazine | Richmond Looks Illustrations Richmonders are a stylish bunch! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c77409e92441bd9bfb46e1b/1551647453873-4JM368NSXHKMQ91POP9F/Richmond+Magazine+Cover New Page
