Hey there! Iām Clare.
I've built my entire career around one belief: your home should feel like you.
I grew up steeped in the restaurant business, surrounded by the warmth of kitchens and people gathering around good food. That love of space and human connection never left me. It followed me across four continents, from Wales to Berlin to Kenya, and eventually here to the North Bay.
All of that living has made me a better designer. I've learned that beauty shows up everywhere, and that the way people want to feel in their space is more universal than you'd think. In fact, the difference between liking your home and loving it almost always comes down to the details. The hardware finish that ties a whole room together. The cabinet pull that feels just right in your hand. Having somewhere to hang your coat when you walk through the door. These are the parts that make up your whole day, every single day ā and every day matters.
Many people know what they want their home to become, but can't quite put it into words. My job is to translate. With nearly three decades of experience working with clients across Marin and the North Bay, I bring together technical craft, intuitive design, and intentionality with every single choice.
What's been nagging you for years? What would make you excited to come home? I design around those answers, working one-on-one with every client because this is personal. Your home should fit your life, your taste, and your budget. I'm here to make sure it does.
