Claire is from a family of artists where sketchbooks were ever present. Her father Glen is an animator, her grandfather Bil was a cartoonist and apparently her great granddad drew machine parts for steam engines. Her uncle, Jeff, is a cartoonist, her brother, Max, draws and animates… so does her cousin. And from the looks of it, her kids are on track to be next in line. After studying design at Parsons School of Design and l’École Supérieure d’Arts Graphiques in Paris, she began her career at Disney Feature Animation in California designing for Tangled, Frozen and Enchanted among other films. Over time, her work expanded to include picture books including Little Wonder, Prunella, Love is, Not Yeti, Make Way, Once Upon a Cloud, and a range of other collaborative projects. In the summer of 2024, Claire returned to Paris with her children, where you’ll often find her sketching in a café alongside her basset hound, Stanley.
