"Claire is one of the most smart, helpful and detail oriented people I've ever worked with. I had the pleasure of working with her on the redesign of the YMCA SF website. We collaborated together on all aspects of strategy, UX and design. Her patient and attentive nature made the process effective and fun, resulting in a fantastic new site for her team. Anyone who gets the chance to work with Claire should consider themselves lucky. She brings unmatched positivity and a solution oriented mindset to all she does."
