Hi! I am Tracey, a multi-hyphenate, generalist product designer
Over a decade of experience in the publishing and digital-media realm, crafting products that millions of readers interact with daily and design for audiences who have real expectations; readers who chose to be there. That requires more than good UI. It requires understanding what earns trust, drives return visits, and converts casual readers into subscribers.
The Receipts.
“Tracey is the embodiment of the ideal product designer - she has the UX chops to work out the ideal path for the user, solving the smallest to most complex problems they may encounter, and a visual design aficionado to turn said seamless product into a work of art. And she does all this with the coolest of heads and an amazing sense of humor to boot. Tracey is an absolute asset to any team she is on.”
Donna Rickles - Senior Product Designer @ NYT
“Tracey really stepped up from the start of the reorganization into our current silos. She lead the user testing when we didn't have a user researcher while simultaneously playing project manager and lead designer. She has a good head on her shoulders and is diplomatic in making sure work gets done and is so easy to work with its painful. She's very pleasant, and very thorough. Tracey has great communication skills and patience with
stakeholders too."Former Product Design Colleague @ Hearst

She consistently steps up to assist, maintaining a positive attitude throughout. Her calm demeanor and collaborative nature make her an absolute pleasure to work with."Former User Research Colleague @ Hearst
I appreciate
your interest!
I'm a Staff Product Designer working @ Hearst. With a background in Graphic, Visual, User Experience and User Interface Design, I bring a rare end-to-end perspective to digital products; one that bridges the emotional resonance of visual storytelling with the precision of systems thinking, resulting in experiences that are as intuitive as they are beautiful.
I live with my husband, Tim, and our daughter, Carolyn, in Central New Jersey.
Yes, it really does exist! 😀 🇳🇯 ❤️
