A CREATIVE DIRECTOR STORYTELLER and Problem Solver who MOONLIGHTS as a FLORAL ARTIST
Hi! I’m Clare. I lead brilliant teams to make beautiful things.
After sensing the need for another Australian in New York, I relocated here from London in 2016 and have been creating award-winning global campaigns, digital experiences, and marketing for some of the world’s most beautiful brands ever since.
Right now, I’m helping folks fall in love at Hinge. Previously, I was the first hire on Squarespace's Campaigns team, where I spent 4 years helping grow and establish the team as the industry’s best in-house agency. Prior to that I was a Creative Lead on AKQA’s new business team, with a perfect pitch record for winning storytelling and digital innovation work.
Outside of work you’ll find me in or near a body of water, learning floral design, experiencing the runner’s high, and scouring the internet for vintage Prada.
