Tracy joined our team from the very beginning, when the ambitious vision for our design center first took shape. She candidly shares, "I had no idea what I was getting into, I just showed up!" – and her dedication has been invaluable ever since.

As Principal Designer, Tracy ensures our showroom displays and pricing are always current and all vendor information is meticulously maintained. She excels at assisting clients, particularly with tile and flooring selections for bathroom and kitchen projects. Tracy genuinely loves the transformation process, from "before" to "after," and is dedicated to helping clients achieve their dream spaces. She's also keen on staying up to date on the latest design trends.

Outside of the design world, Tracy enjoys spending time outdoors, cultivating her landscaping and flowers. She's also an avid reader on fitness over 50, and cherishes moments with her grandsons, Joey, and Sammy (even if it involves chasing them on big wheels!), and taking day trips with her husband.
