Clare holds a Bachelor of Media Production and Design (University of Canberra) and a Bachelor of Design (Architecture) (University of Newcastle), and is currently completing her Master of Architecture at the University of Newcastle.

Before joining CNA, she spent two years working as a designer in Canberra, contributing to a range of specialised projects, from secondary dwellings and residential homes to eco-homes and heritage-listed properties. She also brings over ten years of customer service and hospitality experience, giving her a strong foundation in communication, client understanding, and balancing design ambition with practicality, affordability, and sustainability.

Clare is a SONA Representative for 2025–2026, reflecting her dedication to community, advocacy, and ongoing engagement within the architectural profession.

Driven, creative, and inspired by an artistic family background, Clare approaches each project with thoughtful curiosity and out-of-the-box thinking. She is passionate about people-centred design and strives to create spaces that respond sensitively to both environmental and client needs.

Outside the studio, Clare enjoys climbing, canyoning, running, and exploring nature with loved ones. Her time spent outdoors continues to shape her design philosophy, grounding her work in a deep appreciation for landscape, movement, and human experience.
