Hello, World! My name is Claire! I am an animator, storyteller, computer user, and guitarist living in the 21st century. My work explores popular culture in the digital age, spanning social computing, media preservation, internet and meme culture, and digital ephemera, particularly in relation to gender identity, sexuality, Americana, and evangelical Christianity. I am currently pursuing interests relating to documentation, critical theory of animation, gender in online spaces, archaic and obsolete technology, lost media, and the relationship between computers and environmentalism.

My writing spans fiction, nonfiction, comics, and poetry and can be found in Bluestem, The Bookends Review, the Star Trek blog Women at Warp, and elsewhere. Through my autobiographical character Lola, I perform in experimental video art hinged in my femme experiences.

I earned my BFA from DePaul University where I studied animation and media studies, and I am working towards my MFA at Duke University. I am currently based in Chapel Hill, NC, but you may also find me in Chicago, IL or in Johnson County, KS, my "home" "town".
