Howdy! I'm Clair, and welcome to my portfolio! I specialize in tech design (notably systems and mechanic prototyping) and audio (production & implementation in-engine).

​

Music has been a centerpiece in my life for as long as I can remember. My parents are both musically inclined, and I managed to get their skills and more, teaching myself perfect pitch at age 11 and learning multiple instruments in middle & high school - thanks to strong pattern recognition and problem solving skills. While I don't have a degree in music, I've taken theory and composition classes, which along with my lifelong experience with it has honed my ears to an incredibly sharp point. Programming was a later discovery, but I've found I have a high aptitude for it. Combining the critical thinking skills mentioned before with a long history with technology and computers - thanks to my father, a career programmer and current IT director - led to a perfect storm for learning how to code.

​

My specialization within the games industry is combining tech programming with audio development, though I'm certainly fine with engaging with either on their own. Either way, what I bring to any project is critical thinking, strong communication skills, a boundless need to learn and understand as much as I can, and a desire to create the best and most innovative games possible with like-minded individuals.
