Tracy Brockhouse: Graphic Designer

Exploring other professions and creatively sharing their stories is the joy of being a graphic designer. Throughout my career, I have learned a great deal about the following industries and ways to make them shine:

non-profits / hotels / restaurants / interior designers / wedding venues / caterers / lawyers / rug and furniture makers / tea houses and spas / jam makers / florists and farmers / authors / musicians / schools / fitness studios / bakers / etc.

Experiencing different locations has greatly expanded my perspective and influenced my work. In addition to traveling all over the country for projects, living in each of these locations has played a significant role in shaping my journey as a designer.
