I'm trying to study and eventually design origami tessellations. Is there an illustration/design software that easily produces basic tessellated grids like pic related and has some functionality for drawing lines for creases on the grids?
probably start with more regular stuff like
I don't know of any software but here's some book recommendations.
This book looks promising. I've folded a few models from it that I've found around the internet and intend to buy it one day.

I have this one and enjoy it for basic tessellation techniques but you might be looking for something more advanced. All of Jackson's books are great.

Those two books should lead to other worthwhile recommendations by Amazon.
What makes you want to get deeply into origami tessellations?

I bought Eric Gjerde's book years ago and always thought tessellations were badass. I've been folding origami long before that and now I want to really get into origami design in general and hopefully understand all the underlying math.
I actually filled out a purchase request for the Jackson book at my uni library, hopefully they'll follow through with it, I've been wanting that one for a while.

I would suggest looking into specific libraries used for Java.
Maybe a math or engineering library used to model structures.
Unfortunately i can't point you to a place to start
But there is this YouTube video about the hardcore math of origami:
