Claire is a landscape designer in our Houston office. She began her education at the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry where she discovered her passion for ecological and resilient design. Eventually relocating to Minnesota, Claire received her Masters in Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Claire was the recipient of the Student Academic Excellence Award in 2021 and served as a member of the Design Student and Alumni Board.
Claire’s appreciation for landscapes and outdoor spaces began at a young age. She spent her childhood exploring nature and forming relationships with the various forms and niches of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. She has since had the opportunity to travel and live in other locations across the country, including New York, California, Minnesota, Colorado, and now Texas. She finds inspiration in exploring other cultures and observing her surroundings. Outside of landscape design, she likes to express her creativity through the creation and curation of art, fashion, figure skating, and music.
