Hey there, I’m Claire - creative director, educator, animator and your new go-to girl for strategic content creation. With over a decade of experience, I pride myself on being an innovative storyteller, composing compelling narratives through my work. I’ve created campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, maintaining a cohesive aesthetic and consistent messaging for each client I partner with. I have a BFA in Animation from Otis College of Art and Design, and I eat-sleep-breathe all things creative.
Before founding the boutique LA-based creative studio Oui Create, I worked as a freelancer and then built and directed a creative studio owned by the New York Times, which has allowed me to lead my creative teams with empathy and respect.

With 12 years of industry experience in social-first creative, combined with a deep understanding of digital trends and social media platforms, I’ve developed impactful creative campaigns for my clients across budgets, ranging from scrappy shoestring initiatives to 7-figure multi-channel endeavors.
I’ve successfully executed hundreds of campaigns with white glove service, and am a poised professional when handling senior level contacts. I am both an adept big picture thinker who visually represents ideas through high level concepts, as well as a proficient leader in articulating and overseeing the implementation of that vision for the duration of the project.

When I'm not in the studio you'll likely find me swing dancing to live jazz, hosting a murder mystery dinner party, or cuddled up with my twin cats Fred and George. I draw from different facets of art and design in my work, so I continuously leave my comfort zone to find new hobbies and interests that further expand my creative horizons.
