Claire (she/her) started Nest after installing landscapes in the Twin Cities for six years. Her design philosophy is influenced by lessons she learned earlier in her career managing an urban farm program, supporting local food systems policy, and organizing within the climate justice movement. Claire loves the gratification of building something from start to finish and ending an honest day’s work with dirt under her nails. In her free time, she’s sticking googly eyes on power tools or cozying up in a hammock with her partner and their cat.
