Hi, I’m Travis Stock-Tucker. 

Transforming Creativity into Community Impact.
Building Cultural Infrastructure.
Empowering Artists.
Elevating Stories.

I’m Travis Stock-Tucker—a creative strategist, nonprofit leader, and community organizer based in Long Beach, California. My work lives at the intersection of creativity, equity, and impact. Whether I’m leading public art events, coordinating exhibitions, supporting local artists, or building infrastructure for nonprofits, I bring a deep commitment to inclusive storytelling, organizational integrity, and cultural empowerment.

With over a decade of experience across nonprofit governance, creative production, and executive-level operations, I’ve worn many hats—strategist, project manager, designer, advocate, fundraiser, and collaborator. I’m currently the Managing Director of Happily Bearded After, LLC, a community-focused creative company rooted in photography, placemaking, and civic engagement. Through this platform, I produce Long Beach Night Walks, a monthly photo walk and community event series that encourages residents to reconnect with the city after dark while celebrating art, safety, and culture.

I also serve as Board President of the Long Beach Creative Group, a nonprofit gallery dedicated to elevating the work of local artists. Since joining in 2019, I’ve helped shape the organization’s long-term vision, expand its public programming, and lead key fundraising efforts—including our “For the Love of Creativity” campaign and annual participation in Long Beach Gives. My role includes strategic planning, board management, grant submissions, curatorial collaborations, and ensuring our programs reflect the city’s cultural richness.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a Software Quality Assurance Manager in the insurance tech space, leading QA teams and managing large-scale releases. That experience gave me a foundation in detail-oriented systems thinking and cross-functional collaboration—skills I continue to use in every creative and organizational project I take on.

Outside of my core roles, I’m a dedicated volunteer with Special Olympics Southern California, where I support the Healthy Athletes program and help coordinate logistics and messaging for inclusive sports advocacy.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, I thrive in community spaces where authenticity, access, and representation matter. I believe art is essential, design is a powerful tool for inclusion, and strong organizations can transform neighborhoods when they’re led with care.

If you’re looking to collaborate on creative projects, community initiatives, or meaningful storytelling—I’d love to connect.
