Before joining TyrBit, Claire worked as a freelance designer, where she collaborated with various startups and non-profits to help them create user-friendly websites and applications. In her freelance work, Claire gained a broad understanding of the entire design process—from wireframing and prototyping to user testing and final implementation. This experience allowed her to quickly develop a strong understanding of the critical importance of user-centered design principles and how to apply them to real-world projects.
At TyrBit, Claire works closely with the design team and product managers to design intuitive user interfaces for TyrBit’s products. She contributes to the creation of wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes, always with a focus on making the product more user-friendly. Claire also conducts user research and usability testing to gather feedback and refine the designs based on real user needs. Her design approach emphasizes clarity, ensuring that every pixel has a purpose, whether it’s to improve accessibility, create a visual hierarchy, or enhance the overall user experience.
Claire is particularly passionate about designing for inclusivity. She believes that design should be accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds. This commitment is reflected in her approach to creating accessible user interfaces that prioritize clear navigation, easy-to-read typography, and user-friendly layouts.
Her colleagues value Claire’s creativity, attention to detail, and enthusiasm for learning. Despite being early in her career, she already demonstrates an impressive ability to solve complex design challenges. She is also known for her collaborative nature and is eager to contribute to team discussions and brainstorm new ideas that push the boundaries of user experience design.
