In this episode of The Emerging Artist Podcast, hosts Scott Markowitz and Shiree Nichole Ingram sit down with the incredibly talented Tracy Gurdian of Tovari Designs at a cozy Naples coffee shop.

Tracy shares her artistic journey, from discovering her passion for ceramics to breaking into the luxury market with collections in Bergdorf Goodman. She reveals the relentless determination it took, and the challenges she hit along the way.

Beyond her business success, Tracy discusses the importance of stepping outside the studio, using social media to form real connections, and embracing rejection as part of the creative process.

If you’ve ever questioned whether persistence pays off, this episode will inspire you to keep pushing forward.
