We build brand worlds people want to be part of.
You're invited into Ours
Clair Monet Creative is a boutique design studio for founders who’ve outgrown their brand and know it.
We do the kind of work that makes people stop scrolling, send the link to a friend, and think — I want that for my business.
Brand strategy, creative direction, visual identity, web design, packaging, campaign direction, the whole kit and kaboodle. All of it built to work together. None of it handed off and forgotten.
I’m Clair, founder and creative director.
I personally lead every project that comes through this studio, from strategy through final execution. That’s not something I’m planning to change.
Five years ago I was unemployed, someone reached out, and I jumped. Turns out I was always supposed to be here.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an artist. My parents had other ideas, specifically, they didn’t want me living in their basement forever. So I pivoted to graphic design, drifted into marketing, ended up unemployed, and somehow landed exactly where I always wanted to go.

Clair was the unicorn we didn't know existed
CMC was the unicorn we didn't know existed — someone with a keen design eye, who knows squarespace, who is excellent at interpreting vision. We had tried (and done pretty ok) on our own, but our new site is leaps and bounds beyond.
Casey + Julie, vital voice training
CMC was able to take everything that was scrambled in my head and turn it into a cohesive, easy-to-use website that looks absolutely STUNNING.
Everything from start to finish was just flawless. Any minor edits I had were made, or explained why it may not work, and the communication was TOP TIER. I've had contractors in the past who would take days (or even weeks!!!) to respond back, but CMC was always so on top of things.

CMC is an exceptionally talented Agency who truly understands the needs of their clients.
Working with CMC was a pleasure from start to finish—they are professional, creative, and highly responsive. They took my vision and transformed it into a beautiful, functional website that exceeded all my expectations. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality are unmatched.

Most people think branding is what their business looks like, but it’s actually what their business feels like.
The words people use to describe you when you’re not in the room. The reason someone chooses you over someone who does the same thing. We think about it like building a house (you don’t pick the drawer pulls before you pour the foundation). Every decision builds on the last. So, when it’s done right, nothing feels random.
