A New York native, Tracy McKay's love of creating:  interior environments, artwork, painting, photography, florals, etc., has been procured by businesses and homeowners for the last 30+ years.  After receiving her Bachelors degree in Environmental Design from prestigous Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), she honed her skills at one of the top design firms in the Rochester, NY area.  

Moving to Pennsylvania in 1988, by 1991 she had incorporated her own full service design firm, Artemis Design, Inc.  Her abilities created memorable interiors throughout the surrounding counties.  In 2003, she and a business partner created Furniture Soup, Inc. to provide design services with pre-owned, remanufactured, and new office furniture.  Furniture Soup was awarded the Berks Chamber of Commerce's Entrepeneur of the Year Award and Reading's Top 50 Businesses recognition.

By mid 2014, she parted with Furniture Soup to get back to a repositioned Artemis Design, Inc. to create more indepth interior and product design with more unlimited resources, but, also to develop an integral business consulting service.  The consulting grew from experiences of the years of watching businesses miss vital understanding and data on organization vs. environment, and their own creativity.   Always exploring new ways to make things, Tracy's expertise have helped clients transform below ordinary spaces into places they love to work and reside in.

She is involved in drawing, silk painting, painting, and photography.  Her artwork is presented in  her clients environments. As an active member of the Garden Club of Reading, PA, her floral arrangements have won best of show and blue ribbons in the Philadelphia Harvest Show and Philadelphia Flower Show. These floral and sculptural designs have enhanced many interiors.  Presentations and programs relating to "thinking creatively" have entertained and educated even the highest of flower show school judges. 

Tracy's art and design expertise has been quoted in the local newsapers, Reading Eagle and the Pottstown Mercury,  local magazine Berks County Living and in chamber of commerce's correspondence. Memberships include the local and surrounding chambers of commerce and with some "think tank" groups.

Believing in a balance of individual alignment and collaboration, mentoring and sharing resources, that leads to better designs of environments and experiences for the individual and organization alike.  Always a friend and promoter of all artistic endeavors, she especially employs her own imagination and experimentation as a segue to creative and fulfilled living.
