- A true nature lover and an advocate for sustainability, Claire professes a fascination and passion for biophilic design.
- Although she admits that she didn't inherit her mom's and maternal grandmother's green thumbs, it didn't stop her from going plant-crazy during the pandemic and building a mini jungle on her balcony.
- Her love for finding eco-friendly fixes for common household dilemmas also allows her to share convenient and effective DIY solutions she swears by.
Experience
As a House Digest news writer, Claire has written a number of articles encompassing gardening, shopping, real estate, home improvement, and cleaning niches. She has been writing professionally since 2009. Back in 2014, she helped set up Ananke, a UAE-based online women's magazine, by writing articles on women's issues and working as the features editor. It was during her stint with Ananke that Claire experienced one of the high points of her writing career: interviewing Marion Nestle, a prominent American food scientist, molecular biologist, and public health advocate. She now works full-time as a content editor and continues to freelance as an editor, copywriter, ghostwriter, and writing reviewer.
Education
Claire has a bachelor's degree in English and has yet to finish her thesis for her master's in sociocultural anthropology.
