Tracy Tubera
Illustrator, Graphic Designer, Toy Designer, Creative Director
Pasadena, CA, USAMy name is Tracy Tubera. I have over 20 years experience in the Illustration/Design/Graphic Design/Toy Industry. Over the years I have amassed experience in every field of design and have learned many things in kids entertainment/Licensing while either being part of a team or leading my own team as a Lead Designer, or in the case of my last position, as Creative Director & Brand Manager.
I strive in creative atmospheres where fun is encouraged as I tend to think outside the box. I would be a great addition to any team adding my experience, style of art, & leadership to help develop an open atmosphere for creating innovative ideas.
