Designer embraces green design, world culture
As the daughter of a Foreign Service Officer and an artist, Tracey Stephens spent much of her childhood in Europe where her parents’ museum-quality art and antiques collection inspired in her a passion for art, world cultures and design. So it’s no surprise that the Parsons School of Design graduate was drawn to a career in interior design, founding the Montclair, NJ-based Tracey Stephens Interior Design in 1991 and spending the last decade focused primarily on kitchens and baths.
An award-winning designer, Stephens has earned Best of Houzz awards for six years running, along with numerous ASID NJ Silver and Gold awards for design excellence.
She is a ReGREEN Trained Professional, and eco-consciousness is a key facet of Stephens’ design philosophy; through the use of sustainable materials and practices, she strives to design spaces that are healthy for the environment as well as the people who live in them. And, just as she is committed to being a steward of environmental resources, she is equally committed to being a steward of her clients’ financial resources.
A New Jersey Certified Interior Designer, she is active in the ASID and NKBA; a Masters of Social Work degree also gives her an edge in dealing with a wide range of clients’ needs.
