Traci Webster, IIDA
GFF Interiors
As Director of Interiors, Traci oversees the day-to-day operations of GFF Interiors, a division of GFF. Under her leadership, she continues to grow the practice and lead her studio. She has worked on many Fortune 500 projects and focuses on providing higher-quality design and approaches for her clients.
Leading the firm’s interiors practice, Traci has designed and programmed over two million square feet of institutional and office space. While her practice centers on large, complex projects for corporate end users, Traci translates that experience into “best practices” for clients with smaller space needs. She creates opportunities to help companies change by incorporating the corporate culture, process flow, and program needs to enhance the design. The result is a building designed from the inside out.
