These iconic formats are embedded in her career, and she continues to bring deep creative insight and leadership to every project she undertakes.
Clair is experienced in leading productions across studio, location, fixed-rig, and post, with a speciality in talent-led formats, multi-camera shoots, and complex edits. Her editorial instincts, passion for narrative arc and production leadership have helped shape award-winning, prime-time content for both UK and US audiences. She has also worked closely with world-renowned talent, including Simon Cowell, Jennifer Lopez, and Ant & Dec.
Recently returning to the UK, Clair has launched multiple first-series from concept to screen for broadcasters including ITV and Sky One.
