I’m an art director, designer, illustrator, and writer based in San Francisco, CA, with 8+ years experience across print, digital, and live media.
I kicked off my design career in Dublin, Ireland, working with small businesses, community art initiatives, indie film production companies and educational institutions. I’ve now worked with clients across the EU, Canada and USA. My inspirations come from a huge range of visual and creative arts culture, from fine art and portraiture, graphic novels and comics, street art, DIY and punk, the post-rock genre, folk art and the Tarot tradition, photography, documentary and experimental film, journalism, poetry, and science fiction, amongst others.
I aim to infuse an artistic touch into every project, with sensitivity to the target audience, client aspirations, and a critical and conscious approach to intersectional diversity and inclusion. My other passions include cooking, ‘90s horror and sci-fi TV, the natural beauty of landscapes, friends and family, and a damn fine cup of coffee ⁘ Contact me at hello@claradudleystudio.com
