Tracey Capone

Instructor & Founder of the Creator Collage

Hi there! I'm Tracey. I'm an illustrator, photographer and designer, located in the Chicagoland area. I've been a full time artist for over a decade, after leaving the corporate world behind in 2011. My work can be found online, and in select stores around the country.

I have been teaching on Skillshare since 2020, where I am proud to be a part of their Top Teacher community. I love teaching, and sharing knowledge and am bringing my same quality classes and teaching style here to the Creator Collage.

In my daily work, I use both iPad and desktop apps from the Affinity Suite, Adobe, and Procreate and bring years of experience in all of the applications.

I believe in learning as much as possible about as many applications as possible; not locking in to one. Doing so not only opens you up to more opportunities, it allows you to "break the rules," and make the applications work the way you need them to.

If you have any questions about my classes, please feel free to let me know in the Discussion section of your class, or by emailing me at [email protected].

I look forward to seeing you in class!
