Clair Rock
I’m a Brooklyn-based information architect and UX and product designer with a deep love for language and user-friendly design. My career path has been a winding one—documentary filmmaking, teaching, and digital design—but the common thread has always been helping people share their stories in clear, accessible ways.
These days, I focus on untangling complex information problems and guiding teams toward research-backed, human-centered solutions. I’m especially fascinated by the role language plays in design and research, which led me to my work with The Sensemakers Club as a Sensemaker in Residence. Out of that residency, I’m developing a course on thoughtful language use to help designers, researchers, and storytellers create experiences that truly work for people.
When I’m not knee-deep in the world of information, you’ll find me playing chess, painting miniature figurines, or sketching away while repeatedly binge-watching The X-Files. But in all honesty, I’m probably just hanging out with my wife and daughter.
“I used to think that attention to detail and efficiency were mutually exclusive. That being good at one automatically meant that someone would be poor at the other. Then I met Clair.”
