Hey!
My name is Claire D’Aoust. I’m a designer, occasional DJ (UNO MAS) and third-generation Detroiter. I graduated from Pratt Institute with a degree in Industrial Design in 2006, and have been working as a graphic/web designer, project manager for over 13 years. I enjoy working with clients to solve problems, figure out solutions and create content and materials that are straightforward, accessible and engaging.
Want to work together?
