As a User Experience Researcher, Claire seeks to understand people and translate research data into clear and constructive insights that empower teams and communities. Ever in awe of the complexity and creativity of humans, Claire especially enjoys generative research. She employs a variety of methods to enable thoughtful, practical, and delightful designs. She is passionate about community health and the intersection of sustainability and social impact.

Previously, Claire worked in mechanical engineering and product development. Her interest in understanding the people for whom she was designing led her to the field of Human-Centered Design research. She holds her Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, with a focus in Design, from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and her Bachelor of Engineering from Vanderbilt University.

When she's not working, you can find Claire running and hiking the trails of Boulder with her tireless Australian Shepherd mix pup. She loves stirring up new ice cream recipes and getting her hands dirty in her vegetable garden.
