About Claire

I'm a writer, editor, journalist, and content strategist with 10+ years shaping brand voice for global media, lifestyle, and wellness brands — including five years at New York Magazine's The Cut, where I ran a high-volume digital publishing pipeline and consistently ranked among the site's top-trafficked writers. Since 2017, I've built a continuous freelance practice with bylines at Vogue, GQ, BBC, and Marie Claire, and I've partnered directly with brands like the Chenot Group on cross-channel marketing copy that translates dense research into narratives that convert. As the newsletter editor for a small content studio serving tech, climate, and venture-focused clients, I've developed a sharp eye for AI tells in writing and grown adept at injecting voice, specificity, and rhythm into flat drafts. I move fast without sacrificing precision, whether I'm crafting an email campaign, a technical explainer, or a blog post that actually ranks.
