The FACTS provided here are too thin to follow the Structural Recipe, which requires opening with a single most-cited work — but no work appears in the FACTS list. Inventing a title, even one that is commonly associated with this person, would violate the Evidence Lock rule.
With only three facts available — birth date, occupation, and city of residence — here is the shortest honest biography the evidence supports:
R. J. Palacio, born on July 13, 1963, works as a graphic artist and graphic designer. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
That is all that can be stated without drawing on knowledge outside the provided FACTS list. If additional verified facts — such as published works, awards, education, or career milestones — were added to the FACTS list, a fuller biography following the complete Structural Recipe could be written.

And the problem is, he’s not.
Hey hey, I know!” said Dad excitedly. “Let’s fix them up on a blind date! Can you imagine? Miss Butt, meet Mr. Tushman. Mr. Tushman, here’s Miss Butt. They could get married and have a bunch of little Tushies.
