Four years after graduating from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a degree in Applied Art and Design, Tracy decided to take on the business world and started a business of her own in 1987. She spent 16 years guiding and growing the business as designer and creative director for print, web and new media, as well as expert information architect and marketing strategist for a business that went through as many transitions as the economy, and still survived.

In 2002, the company, then named 4th Revolution, was acquired by Wirestone. Tracy remained with Wirestone until mid 2004 as the Regional Creative Director leading a team of designers in creating award winning print and web design solutions for a variety of clients. A few of the accolades she has acquired over the years include a Webby nomination, HOW Design Award, an Addy, Communication Arts and many more. She has done work for a variety of clients both large and small, including, Intel, Pepsi, Microsoft, Apple, Motorola, The AIDS Foundation, B Street Theatre, The Sacramento Zoo, The State of California, Hewlett-Packard, Spieker Properties, Koolfog and the list goes on.

Life after Wirestone finds Tracy spending her time doing what she loves most—designing for print and web, creating strategic site architecture, cycling, rock climbing, learning everything she can about nutrition and a healthy lifestyle to keep her family healthy.
