Our Team

In late 2023, Tracey Herriot and Amy Stirnkorb co-founded Educreate because they wanted to give back to the community through teaching. Tracey wears many hats — she is a fashion designer, award-winning seamstress, 3D printing/tech specialist, sustainability advocate, entrepreneur, and former retail chain store founder/owner. She found her passion in teaching and launched Clicbitz Textile Arts and Technology Education Company more than 10 years ago. She is Clicbitz creative director and lead educator and has taught more than a thousand kids and families in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Clicbitz runs popular seasonal camps and year-round programs at San Diego city library branches and other locations around San Diego County  including Poway, Coronado, La Mesa, San Marcos, Rancho Santa Fe, and El Cajon.
