Tracey’s “Loaf”

(cuz she thinks it looks like white bread)

This project started off with a 2018 High Roof Extended Cargo Ford Transit and a client who was excited for a change of pace and scenery — Tracey Kaplan, a journalist who was sick of renting inflated Bay Area real estate is now permanently living in a YETIBUS she owns.

““Women of my generation — I’m 61 — were supposed to grow up to be wives, mothers, nurses, teachers or stewardesses, not brave independent, adventurous women with a van that gives them the freedom to live anywhere they want.””
— Tracey Kaplan
