About
Hello! I'm Claire, nice to meet you 👋🏼 Originally from Lincoln, Nebraska, I'm now based out of Amsterdam as a freelance graphic & visual designer. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design from Northumbria University, and a Master's Degree in Digital Design from the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. Before pursuing freelancing full-time, I spent six years working professionally in two design agencies and a start-up.
Besides design, I am also passionate about music. I've been a DJ for over five years, picked up vinyl about two years ago, and recently started producing music of my own. You might catch me playing the odd gig around Amsterdam, dancing at a venue, visiting a museum, or (in the summer) swimming and having a picnic in the park.

My Values
I take an empathetic and proactive approach in my work, promising to deliver on my values throughout your project, so that there are never any unexpected surprises regarding cost, revisions, or scope.

Transparency
Creativity is abstract, and cannot be precisely quantized. Instead of quoting a fixed project fee, I estimate a flexible range of hours around a target budget, where we agree together on the sweet spot between the minimum and maximum. Throughout the process, I inform you continuously about the work performed and the amount of time spent on each deliverable.

Efficiency
I work on a pay-as-you-go basis. It is easier to be decisive when there is a clear understanding of how much those decisions will cost you with continuous tracking of time spent. I have found that the number of revisions are significantly reduced using this method, with better results being achieved more quickly. Overall, this helps create a pressure-free working relationship where ideas flow freely.

Flexibility
Flexibility is key to a successful creative project. A rigid contract restricts space for additional revisions or scope. When a project exceeds its predicted budget, this causes tension for both parties. With a flexible fee and schedule, this reduces pressure on timeframe and the obligation to pay a large sum all at once. This also allows for as many (or as little) revisions that your project requires.

My Process
My process is meticulously defined, from initial consultation to delivery of final results. I apply the five stages of design thinking, as projects typically become non-linear at the concepting & iteration phase. This allows for repetition until we reach the best possible solution.
