Our Mission
Improve Acoustical Performance of Every Kind of Space
We magnify the strengths and downplay the weaknesses of every space, to bring sound into focus.
Our Values
Simplicity. Collaboration. Integrity.
Simplicity
Our approach to acoustics is one that strives to match simplicity in solutions with simplicity in aesthetics. Leonardo da Vinci famously said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” We simply agree.
Collaboration
We work closely with architects, builders, and project stakeholders — from facility managers to worship leaders — recognizing that each brings different priorities around sound, aesthetics, and budget to a project. The commitment is to work with these partners, not simply hand down specifications, so acoustic performance and design intent move forward together.
Integrity
We are sincerely committed to integrity in both our personal and business dealings. In practice, this means recommending the simplest, most cost-effective path to solving an acoustic problem, even when that advice reduces the scope of the engagement.

Our Story
Glenn Arthur founded Grace Acoustical Design after settling in Cypress, TX in 2017. He has been a committed Christian for more than 30 years and a student of acoustics for even longer.
Glenn’s been tinkering with sound since he was a child. Even in infancy, his hyper-awareness of the aural world was undeniable. As a toddler, he discovered a natural ability for music.
Throughout adolescence, Glenn continued to experiment with sound and music. By the time he finished high school, he was a proficient multi-instrumentalist and a devoted young audio engineer.
After graduating college in 1992 with degrees in music and audio engineering, Glenn spent the next 25 years developing acoustic and audio expertise across an impressive collection of projects. Today, that experience shapes the guidance Grace Acoustical Design brings to every new project — helping architects, builders, and the clients they serve achieve spaces that sound as good as they look.
Collaboration and Experience
Glenn’s acoustical design experience includes recording studios, video post-production facilities, social meeting areas, and church worship spaces.
Beyond his efforts in acoustics, Glenn has won multiple awards for his audio engineering and for music. With substantial experience as a Live Sound Engineer, Performing Multi-Instrumentalist, Worship Leader, Recording Engineer, and Mastering Engineer, Glenn understands the needs of key stakeholders in each acoustical project. Leveraging this insight, he synthesizes these various perspectives into every acoustical design.

Sounds About Right
Glenn’s unique experience is the perfect match to any acoustical setting, whether it’s a performance hall, church, school, business, or residence. He enjoys improving acoustics in every application, but as a Christian Acoustical Engineer his greatest satisfaction is found in connecting people with God in worship.
“I’m especially passionate about how acoustics can help people engage with God in worship. This is the inspiration that brought Grace Acoustical Design to life.”
