Experience
Claudia brings a distinctive perspective to JLA, merging her background in residential interior finishes with a passion for digital fabrication and artisanal craftsmanship. A Maryland native with a West Coast spirit, her design sensibility is shaped by years of working in art production, bespoke furniture design, and experiences from living in Denmark and Rome—resulting in a dynamic interplay between minimalist precision and bold, expressive detail.  Outside of the studio, she can be found exploring the city on her motorcycle, experimenting with pastry-making, or diving into her latest sewing project.
