Tracy Nicodemo is a small business owner whose experience of being a new mom helped inspire the birth of her business, Little Creatives. Tracy graduated from Ohio University with a bachelor of applied science in interior architecture before completing an associate’s degree in fashion/apparel design. Tracy’s impressive background in interiors and fashion was what helped her to start Little Creatives in 2020.

On this episode, Tracy speaks to us about her journey to becoming a small business owner, how it’s changed her life, and what tools she’s used to build her success.
