“Once you work with Claire you will want her on every team you ever form. Why? She has three main superpowers, which in combination make her a force of nature. First, she is a fully engaged listener who listens to understand. Not polite listening, but full immersion understanding. What she learns from her listening informs her second super power - problem solving. Because she listened, she can restate your problem in more universal terms that help everyone in the room see the greater context of the problem. Claire does not create duct tape solutions to hold a project together, she creates solutions that expand opportunity, which leads to her third superpower. Claire is focused on designing, building and implementing solutions. I think of her work as the combination of an architect and a contractor. ”

“Claire is sharp, organized, focused and mission-driven. She has a tremendous work ethic and is a pleasure to work with. No task is too big or too small for her. She joined my Los Angeles campaign having spent very little time here, and soon developed a strong understanding of a huge and complex city. Claire interacted clearly and effectively with her staff and got the best from them. She would be a strong asset to any campaign.”

“Claire is the kind of person I’d be eager to work with on any project — and that’s after only working with her for two months.

We hired Claire as a researcher and organizer to source product feedback, synthesize that feedback into insights, and partner with our design + development team to turn those insights into product solutions. Claire provided immense value to our team by checking all of these boxes quickly, efficiently, and with the highest quality...”

“Claire brings passion, creativity, and strategy to her work. I had the opportunity to work with her and get to know her during a State House campaign. In Alaska, as in most places, field strategy is the driving force behind progressive wins, and Claire was able to adapt and bring creative solutions to the table that allowed the candidate to connect one-on-one with voters while still adhering to public health mandates of a global pandemic. She dove into learning and understanding the complexity of Alaska politics and our resource-development-driven economy. She quickly developed relationships with key constituencies and outlined a clear, and strategic vision for the campaign. As a political consultant, I was deeply impressed with Claire and look forward to seeing the impact of what she accomplishes during her career. ”

“A gifted researcher, expert listener and skilled designer, Claire is an invaluable member of any team. In my role as Colgate-Palmolive Pratt course sponsor, I had the immense pleasure of learning from Claire while she was a graduate student in Pratt’s Industrial Design studio. With a seemingly infinite ability to learn, apply and pivot, and a knack for collaboration and mentorship, Claire pushed the boundaries of our brief and elevated the entire class’ work with careful study, contributing critical thought and delivering well-crafted execution. ”
