Tracy and I worked together for many years on Santa Barbara SEASONS Magazine and on visitor magazine publications for Custom Media Publications, where she was the Creative Director and I was the Editor. She is an exceptional Creative Director, Graphic Designer and collaborator.
Our Custom Media Publications—which included visitor magazines for the cities of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Solvang, Ventura and Pismo Beach.
I would work with her again in a heartbeat!
I had the pleasure of hiring Tracy in 2016 as Creative Services Coordinator for Pebble Beach Resorts, and after immediately inheriting several significant projects, she earned the confidence and respect of the company’s management team in a matter of days. During her tenure at Pebble Beach she helped develop brand standards for the company’s largest milestone events like the 2019 U.S. Open Championship; brought a vision to culinary getaways and facilities grand openings; and upgraded years-old photography assets as only someone with her on-set experience can do. Through her guidance, the graphic design standards of Pebble Beach were elevated to a look befitting one of the most historic resorts in America and continue today.
Tracy always delivers grace under pressure, innovative creative instincts and the rare gift of being good with type.
Tracy is supremely talented, a consummate professional and knows her stuff. Her insight, commitment and attitude are as good as it gets. We've worked with each other in different capacities over many years - always to great success and always a pleasure to work with.
Tracy was one of the first Creative Directors I had worked with in my photography career. Initially we worked together on a videography project for SEASONS followed by subsequent still and video projects. Tracy has always impressed me with her creativity, her organization, her ability to bring others together in a collaborative process and her skill in making everyone feel at ease while simultaneously producing and directing. She is also highly talented on the design end. I always enjoyed seeing my photographs in the final magazine layout, as she is an expert in using visual imagery to tell a story. Tracy was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her work in any creative role.
