“This is the real secret of life…to be completely engaged with what you are doing, in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”

- Alan Watts

Hi there!

I’m Claire (she/her), a certified, business-minded UX/UI Designer and Multimedia Creative Consultant with a background in branding, graphic design, e-commerce, and retail strategy.

After graduating from Purdue University, I began my professional career in New York City working for global contemporary brands such as Elizabeth & James and Diane von Furstenberg. I left the fashion scene in buying and merchandising, to expand my scope and digital-focused offerings as a creative consultant.

I’m grateful for the experience of working with incredibly talented individuals and forward-thinking companies within the retail, fitness, health, and wellness industries that align with my personal passion and interests.

What makes me unique is my ability to zoom out before zooming in. By taking a bird’s eye view and collaborating with key stakeholders to holistically understand your business, I look to create an exceptional overall user experience for products, services, and experiences.

It’s all about results—while working together, I translate my design impact and ROI through research, metrics, and strategy planning. I look to help increase revenue (customer value, conversion rates, etc.) while decreasing costs (both fixed and variable) wherever possible.

After spending the last decade in the concrete jungle of Manhattan, I’ve relocated to Denver, Colorado and worked full-time as a Mobile UX/UI Designer for VF Corporation, designing the Vans and The North Face mobile applications.

When I’m not designing, you can find me with my twin sons, husband, and Golden Retriever or practicing Katonah yoga, making herbal concoctions, and cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
