About
Hi, I’m Claire—native Seattlite, hiker, sake enthusiast, and aspiring blogger. I believe we work best together when we share a personal connection. Here’s a bit about me and I look forward to learning more about you.
Community Outreach
Fighting for racial justice has become a focus for me after observing the widening wealth gap with the rise of big tech in Seattle
I sponsored five Google fundraising campaigns benefitting Solid Ground, which I’ve supported since 2007.
In partnership with Social Justice Fund, I led two giving workshops helping tech workers set charitable giving goals.
I’ve been a mentor & portfolio reviewer at the School of Visual Concepts since 2017, (a program catered to mid-career pivots)
Gary Rubin, Solid Ground Giving Manager, and myself, fundraising on the Google campus in 2019
Strengths
Of the 34 possible strengths a person can have, these are my top five.

“Analytical”
I make decisions based on facts, data, and logic, which helps me find ways around obstacles and make sense of ambiguity.
“Futuristic”
I consider the impacts of my decisions far into the future—having a clear sense for where I’m headed motivates me to work hard in the moment and create bite-sized milestones to achieve my goals.
“Developer” (not the coding kind)
I have a knack for spotting potential in others and enjoy supporting their personal and professional growth. I help others feel valued, useful, and important by highlighting their successes.
“Arranger”
I find opportunities for efficiency and enjoy figuring out how all the pieces fit together. As an Arranger, I thoroughly enjoy operating as a member of a collaborative team.
“Responsibility”
Without fail, I follow through on what I commit to doing. I thrive when I’m working with others who share the same sense of responsibility.
