Claire Paquin, founder and principal designer of Clean Design, has established herself as a go-to designer in Westchester County. She is a graduate of the New York School of Interior Design's interior design program. Her long-standing interest in design and decorating, space planning, and the decorative arts fuels her passion for the business. Claire feels that good design is an integral component in loving your home and being happy in a space.

Before launching Clean Design, Claire worked for 11 years as a convertible bond salesperson on Wall Street where she guided institutional clients. She excelled at understanding her clients' complex needs and efficiently defined and executed tailored solutions for them. Her passion for helping the client translates directly into the design world.  Claire's favorite aspect of a project is interpreting the client's aesthetic dreams and making them a reality.

Prior to obtaining her interior design degree, she graduated from Duke University magna cum laude with a B.A. in English and French. She lives in Scarsdale, NY, with her husband, JP, and their two daughters, Chloe and Ursula.
