Quirky, left-handed, bike commuting architect based in Portland, Maine Tracie specializes in bringing people together to solve problems. Her experience and interests are diverse; with a background in master planning, architecture, political organizing and fundraising.
Licensed in Maine and Massachusetts, a LEED AP and NCARB-certified architect, her work encompasses a wide variety of commercial and multi-family projects of varying scales. Recent projects have included dental and veterinary clinics, surgical centers, multi-family, industrial processing facilities, restaurants and mixed-use buildings.
When not at the office, Tracie volunteers as a youth mentor with Portland Community Squash’s Junior program, ‘Rally Portland.’ In her free time she plays squash, quilts, swing dances and tends to her flower and vegetable gardens. A domestic adoptee of Korean heritage, she studies Korean in honor of her immigrant grandmother, under the guidance of two very patient teachers.
