Meet Our Team, Claire
Claire Prestegard
Office Manager
+ Design Assistant
What's your role at H2D? How long have you been with the company?
Office Manager + Design Assistant. I’ve been with H2D since July 2024
What inspired you to pursue a career in architecture and/or interior design?
I lead the marketing efforts at H2D, and have a strong visual learning style. Growing up, I was captivated by the design world through my mom’s work at a newspaper and advertising agency. She would often bring me to her office, where I developed a deep appreciation for the creative process and inspired by the stunning work they’d produce.
What's your go-to design style or inspiration?
Nature is my greatest inspiration. I also am drawn to the ornate beauty and intricate details of Victorian architecture.
What's one thing you'd like clients to know about the design process?
It’s a back-and-forth process, with many decisions to consider. As you move forward, new ideas, possibilities, and inspiration may emerge and reveal needs you hadn’t initially considered — and that’s ok!
If you could instantly learn any skill, what would it be?
Sewing
What's your favorite place you've traveled to?
Switzerland! The beauty of the outdoors is unbeatable, along with the diverse Swiss architecture.
What's your favorite season? And why?
Autumn or Spring. I love when the foliage begins to change to vibrant colors and the air turns crisp, as well as when spring blooms begin to emerge, bringing new life to the season.
What's one trend in design you'd love to see a comeback?
Don’t judge me, but there’s something so cozy about a sunken living room — especially when done right!
If you were a superhero, my superpower would be ____________________.
The ability to stop time at my leisure.
