Designer

Claire is the newest member of the MGD team. She’s an expert at designing branded systems, individually customized to help clients with presentations and accountability reports. Lucky for them, using elaborate paragraph styles is Claire’s superpower. She received her BS in Graphic Design Communication from Jefferson University. When she’s not flexing her publication design muscle, she can be found baking (from scratch) and jamming on her electric guitar.
