I got my start at landscape architecture firms, designing wayfinding (visual information systems!) that help people navigate the built environment. That experience taught me that good design isn't just about making something look nice. It's about making information easy to understand and helping people find what they need. It continues to shape the way I work today, with content guiding the visual direction instead of the other way around.

I currently partner with sustainable and mission-driven brands on everything from digital marketing and social media to print, packaging, and event branding. I enjoy working across different mediums, solving communication challenges, and turning ideas into visuals that are clear, engaging, and purposeful. My goal is always the same: to create work that communicates clearly and feels authentic to the brand.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me running, rock climbing, or getting lost in a craft project. I also have a slightly excessive collection of teeny tiny glass beads. You can see what I make with them at @clara.ming
