Hello, I am Clair

I am a researcher and practitioner, designer and maker in design + restorative justice. I am also an islander and interested in how the perspective of the islander alters the research and practice view.

“Working with Clair has been a real, rare pleasure ...

With her craft she opens our world to discover in us things we don't know about ourselves and about the others that are with us - sometimes even if we don't see them or if we apparently don't care about them”



- Prof. Gema Varona Martínez, Basque Institute of Criminology
