About me
I'm Claudine and I'm a Designer and Art Director normally based in Brooklyn, New York but currently in Europe traveling. I have six years of creative design experience exploring different visual storytelling approaches across a wide range of industries.
I am French-Cuban-American and love to introduce a bit of that multi-cultural spice into my work! I also love cats, museum gift shops, and deep diving into weird unique historical facts.

Approach
My real value is my non-traditional start in my design career—learning graphic design on-the-job onboard a ship—and my experiences growing up French-Cuban-American in Miami and Paris.
Those experiences impacted my design approach which is guided by an interest in research, narrative storytelling, and cross-cultural influence. I am drawn to how color, form, and balanced compositions can communicate these interests into accessible, beautiful visuals people can effectively engage with. My diverse work experience across very different industries also helps me adapt quickly to different consumer storytelling needs and working styles.
With agency, in-house, and independent experience I aim to provide holistic design solutions and work towards designs that meet business needs.
