About

My name is Claire. I am a creative fixer. With 12 years of experience under my belt, I've managed to work in every area of art and design. From flyers to magazines, digital billboards to app design, events, apparel and beyond, I believe I can solve any problem put in front of me.​

​

Corporate environments have taught me to appreciate process and order; agency life helped me learn to be agile and flexible, freelance has me learning and relearning patience, courage, and the desire to bring passionate people's ideas to life.

​

When it comes to designing itself- I love a good challenge that requires me to step outside of my comfort zone. While I have a personal style- it's wonderful to be able to take those skills and apply them to something completely different. The chances I can slip some humor, sarcasm or hidden symbolism into a final product I will. It can appear in copy or the mark itself. I've found that some of my favorite projects may not always be the "best" outcome design wise- but it's the story and experience with a client leading up to the final product that really fills me with inspiration and drive to keep creating again and again.
