Born in 1979, Grace Tan is a multi-disciplinary practitioner specialising in the area of wearable and spatial structures. With a formal training in fashion design coupled with extensive industrial experience, Grace founded kwodrent in 2003 as a dynamic design platform for research and application. kwodrent seeks to question and redefine the relationship between body and space while focusing on the transformative aspect of form, function and meaning. Her experimentations lead to new landscapes that blur the lines between fashion, fine art, architecture, and mathematics.

Grace regularly works in collaboration with practitioners from various disciplines to further the boundary of design. they include outr][rtno, farm, choy ka fan and surround, to name a few. In addition to her design career, Grace also teaches at the School of the Arts, Singapore. Her work has represented singapore during London Design Week, Melbourne State of Design, Venice Architecture Biennale, Taipei Design Week, Tokyo DesignTide, and the world expositions in Aichi and Shanghai. Her work has also been shown in Singapore at the Singapore Art Museum, 8q, Fost Gallery, and The Substation.
