Pursuing Design has given me renewed life and I’m ecstatic to pursue this new venture where I get to use and expand on everything that I have spent my previous career cultivating: helping people and finding creative solutions to unique problems.

A Little Bit About Me

My name is Claire and, as you may have read already, I am an Educator, UX Designer, and professional adventure buddy to my co-pilot, Chili Dog.

My 13+ years of experience as an Educator of students of all ages has positioned me well in the world of UX Design. I spent my days working on peoples’ experiences to feel inspired and curious, and continue to do so in Design.

My Mission

I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of meaningful collaboration.
Trust, empathy, and connection are essential to creating anything worthwhile—together.

I believe in designing with joy and with purpose.
Design should delight, but it should also solve real problems and serve real people.

I believe in the power of yet.
I may not have all the answers—yet. Curiosity, growth, and resilience are part of the process.

I believe in expressive design as a bridge to connection.
Design is more than function; it’s a way to make users feel seen, understood, and inspired.
