Hello!
My name is Claire and I am a graduate from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities Bachelor of Design in Architecture. After graduating in 2019, I worked in the Greater Los Angeles area and am now located in Panama City Beach, Florida. I am passionate about diversity and inclusion in the design industry. I have a unique background of both architectural design and sales and am greatly interested in consumer market research, client relations, and design that enhances and preserves the natural environment. I am also a huge cat-lover, beach lover, and a meme/internet culture enthusiast!
