ABOUT
Hi, I'm Tracy

My mission is to elevate businesses to have the right tools, support and mindset to improve diversity in design and engineering.

Tracy Sharp-14.jpg

With a foundation established in 2004, my journey as a design engineer has spanned consumer products and domestic appliances, navigating the realms of small businesses and design consultancies.

Over the past 20 years, I've evolved from a design engineer to a team builder and leader, steering teams across the UK, China, and Italy on both national and global scales.

However, my extensive experience in male-dominated industries revealed the toll of non-inclusive environments—leading to burnout, leaving me both exhausted and unfulfilled.

 

Throughout my career, the absence of positive female role models or managers was a stark reality, a sentiment I recognized echoed by countless others. Fueled by a desire to lead with empathy and support, I embarked on a transformative journey in 2021, redirecting my career path.

Now, as an accredited coach and mentor, my mission is to catalyze positive change at all professional levels.

 

SharpMinds stands as your dedicated partner in the journey toward transforming diversity in the Design & Engineering Industries.

TESTIMONIALS
What people
are saying...

"Tracy gave a talk and two-part workshop for us at SharkNinja, sharing her experiences as a woman in design engineering and coaching us on identifying and living by our values. The sessions were acutely tuned to the needs of the group and provided invaluable insights to those who attended. Tracy is a very engaging speaker, and we had brilliant feedback from the group, who left feeling inspired and empowered to put what they'd taken from the session into practice
