Hi there, I’m Clare 👋
I’m a junior at the University of Michigan studying business with a minor in UI/UX Design. Although I may not be pursuing design as a career, it enriches my passion for product development and marketing.
I am a storyteller, hungry learner, and visionary advocate.

As a creative and strategic thinker, I’ve found marketing as a perfect blend of versatility and collaboration. Being involved in product creation from breathing it into life, and continuously improving it, is what draws me to product marketing and management. I thrive in creating compelling storytelling.
Product-driven business student
I lead a cohort of five client teams in marketing consulting for local Ann Arbor businesses, collaborating with business owners from café restaurants to tech startups. I’ve also served for multiple semesters as a technology consultant and web design chair for my professional design fraternity.

My story
As an elective turned into a four-year commitment …
I took on the role of editor for my high school newspaper and began to view the publication holistically. I considered how stories would look side by side and sought ways to make the layout more interactive.
Part 1
Redesigns, redesigns, redesigns …
After researching editions from the 80s onward, I immersed myself in learning SNO, WordPress, and Adobe InDesign to recreate our print publication and website.
I spent countless hours perfecting every detail, producing numerous iterations. Though it strained my eyes, the results were always rewarding.
Part 2
Discovering …
Learning about UX design at Michigan was a fantastic way to transition my experience to the digital realm.
Through this discovery, I realized my greatest passion in working with newspapers wasn't just the design; it was the holistic process—interviewing, researching, story-writing, editing, and crafting.
I knew I wanted to pursue paths that aligned with this cross-functional experience.
