Hi! My name is Claire Godbee.

I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and have over a decade of experience in visual and fine art. In 2022, I obtained a Certificate in Graphic Design from Wilmington University, in 2023 completed a UI/UX Design Certificate through Thinkful and in 2024 I completed a User Experience Design Certificate through eCornell.

I always knew I wanted to be an artist. I was creative and active as a kid— building forts and terrariums, surpassing expectations with school art projects, turning our family playroom into an art room, and painting with whatever I could get my hands on. As an adult, I am driven by art and design. It has impacted and shaped my life in so many wonderful ways and in return, I am inspired to make a difference in the world through my own work.

When I’m not creating on screen, you can count on finding me in my studio painting. Painting has informed my design process in so many ways— it’s messy, like a wild horse, it can be tamed and controlled, but it will never lose its wild streak. I keep this in mind when designing. It’s like approaching a tamed horse and wanting to set it free— knowing the rules, but discovering ways to break them, to push the limits creatively and confidently.

My work is rich with creativity and I am endlessly excited to add authentic value to projects.
