Tracy is driven by the power architecture has to impact everyday life. She is motivated by the idea that people will experience the buildings and spaces she creates.

The project will be the largest Art Museum in the world upon completion.
Outside of work, Tracy loves being outside and is an avid cyclist. She has a knack for creating handmade quilts for friends and family and enjoys traveling.
