Hi, I’m Claire Hanley — a designer and illustrator based in Maine. For over ten years, I’ve worked across print and digital design, specializing in advertising, editorial layout, and visual storytelling.

My illustrations are inspired by my two children, my community, animals, the natural world, and the humor and chaos of everyday life — always with a messy, whimsical twist.

I love mixing traditional materials like paint, paper, ink, and pastels with digital tools like Procreate, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Hand-painted textures often find their way into my digital work, keeping that tactile, human touch at the heart of everything I create.
