About

Hi! My name is Claire and I am a Creative Producer and avid storyteller. I fell in love with television production as a kid growing up on sets and have never stopped my love for the creative world.

I have worked as a Producer for several genres of television including true crime, home renovation, DIY, reality tv, vertical shorts, and a variety of clip shows on YouTube channels. Let’s work together!
