Ruiqi (Tracy) Tu

My journey as a designer started in a creative family in Chengdu, China. After spending my high school years in the charming city of Lexington, Kentucky, I headed to ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, to further nurture my passion.

As a designer, I thrive on exploring new districts, where I discover a plethora of inspiration. My soul is nourished by immersing myself in intriguing stores, innovative exhibits, and breathtaking outdoor spaces.

​But design is more than just aesthetics for me. It's about fostering a harmonious social environment where everyone feels happy and valued. I'm all about building connections and uplifting others, which is why I cherish being friendly with every classmate, showering my friends with compliments, and expressing how much they mean to me. A friendly and supportive atmosphere not only energizes me but also fills me with joy knowing others are happy.
