Hello there, I’m Claire!

Currently I am based in Seattle working as a Product Designer at Microsoft, previously at Airbnb. I graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelors in Interaction Design in 2020.

My focus is predominantly product design, but I also dabble in visual design, illustration, and I love making icons and pixel art!

New technology, such as blockchain, big data, and augmented reality excites me! I hope to apply design thinking to harness the power of innovations like these to help create a better future for everyone.

If you would like to reach me, or maybe even meet for some coffee (or boba!), email me at clairedycat.kantner@gmail.com

fun facts:

• I enjoy making comics, and even created one that got published.

• When I was younger, I dreamed of becoming a video game designer. Although I’ve followed a different path, my gaming passion persisted and has turned into a new hobby of making my own pixel art (check it out on Instagram: @ok.pixels)

• I’ve been studying Japanese since middle school, and my dream is to live in Japan someday.
