Though she did not always know what shape that dream would take, everything changed in 2021 when she made the bold decision to leave corporate America to spend more time with her young daughter. That decision would become the spark behind The Decided Collection.As her daughter grew, so did her sense of style—and the two found it increasingly difficult to find pajamas that felt age-appropriate for Traci and stylish enough for her daughter.
