About Me

Hey, I’m Claire from Los Angeles, California
and I create Journey Maps & Portraits for you!

Do you want a way to show your entire journey at a glance instead of a million pictures and explanations? I got you! Let’s work together to create the perfect memory on your wall, for your invites, the sign people see when they first walk into your event, an anniversary gift, the story of your business journey, the honored memory of a loved one who passed, or anything else you can think up!
 
Since my mom was an artist I've been exposed to and loved art my whole life. I also came from a family of business owners and because of this I always had that need to create as well as be an entrepreneur.
 
I went to CalArts, the school Walt Disney created, in 2016 to learn animation because the stories I saw on TV, movies, and shows were what inspired me most in life. Afterwards, I worked at Universal Studios and in Hollywood as a caricature artist and in animation for studios like Hasbro, Amazon, and Netflix. While I had my career in animation I kept having the urge to create a business of my own on the side. At first, I thought I had to sell everyday items like straws or purses—yep, I gave those a shot! But that’s a story for another time. Then, it hit me: why not follow both of my callings and create a business around my art, the thing I’ve poured my heart and soul into for years! I left the industry to finally be my own boss and I never looked back!
 
With all the years of art experience I had creating stories, animation, character designs, caricatures, & commission work I know I can confidently bring your story to life!  
A colored illustration of 5 locations on a relationship map. These locations include Seattle, Portland, Orange County, Oahu, & Kauai. The style looks somewhat like Mary Blair & is mostly purple, blue, pink, & green. The title of this map is Our Journey, it includes a red boarder and features a cute caricature at the bottom of a boy and a girl.

The "My Journey" and "Our Journey" maps, will showcase you & your partners' sweet journey! Click here to see more examples!

A traditionally painted portrait might be the thing your home has been missing for that personal artistic touch. You can find portraits here.

When I’m not drawing in my home studio I’m usually watching criterion collection and indie films. Or on an adventure with my husband and our doggie, Nala!
