I’m Claire, a product manager living Westchester County New York. During my free time, I enjoy tinkering, camping, sewing, and reading prolifically. My husband and I have two daughters and are very much enjoying the parenting adventure.

During the day I work in product management, leading teams at multiple early stage startups. I design new features to meet customer and strategic needs, a position that reflects my unique and balanced understanding of user experience and product development. My product management career is detailed on my resume.

During my free time I am a photographer and writer. My photography reflects the raw beauty, grit, and character of the cities and landscapes I have experienced. I love taking picture of where I go - see some examples on the photography page! Inspiration for these images, as well as my fictional and freelance professional writing, stem from the environments I inhabited throughout my adult life. These two strengths, visual and written composition, give me an edge as a product thinker. Specifically, I am able to think creatively about the style and content of product presentation.

I am an avid social justice advocate and passionate about issues of education, financial equity, and voter access. I serve on Alumnae board for my high school alma matter, Miss Porter’s School, as well as the Byram Hills Preschool Association. I recently volunteered for the Technology Task Force for the Town of North Castle, NY to increase digital access to services for all residents. Among many other organizations, I also volunteered for the San Francisco Dyke March and the New York City Dyke March between 2008 and 2013, acting as a leader in each organization to further the voice of lesbians in each city. I also continually volunteer to support various community organizations, from local elections work to organizing community service workers for hunger and homelessness in college. These positions lend depth and vision to my product development and user empathy skills.
