Born and raised in Yakima, WA, Tracy has always had a passion for design. After earning a B.S. in Product Design from Stanford University, she is trained in physical product design while also self-taught in digital design.
Tracy took a brief detour to pursue an M.S. in Engineering Design Innovation at Northwestern University but decided to leave the program to explore real-world projects instead. Still, she has a soft spot for Chicago and considers it one of the best cities out there.
For Tracy, design isn’t just about making things look good; it’s about creating experiences that feel good, too. At Pear, she’s excited to bring her design expertise to crafting and designing the perfect founder experience in Pear Studio.
