Welcome! Right This Way...

My name is Claire, and my mission is to share my vision for a more colorful, wild world with you. I am a surface pattern designer, illustrator, trail runner, professional expedition guide, tourism professional, and mountain dreamer.  I have designed adventure programs in over 30 countries around the world and have led multi-day backpacking expeditions everywhere from Iceland to Alaska. I have created designs for breweries, lodges, tourism organizations, and apparel lines. Clients of mine have included Brooklyn Boulders, Kula Cloth, Glade Options, Sh*t that I Knit, Injinji, and Fishe.

I seek inspiration, balance, and sunshine for a life well-lived and aspire to use my designs to protect our alpine environments and wild spaces. I am stoked you are reading this and would love to connect (for an adventure, a project, or design license!) Just fill out the form below to say hi! 

How Can You Support Claire Kalina Designs? Whether you want to purchase some fabric, a sticker, or simply give me a heart on instagram, every touch point for my business makes me do a little happy dance. Seriously! At the moment, I’m not able to mass produce my stuff, so I rely on awesome companies like Spoonflower to do my manufacturing. I’ve personally tested the products and have gotten great reviews on them. If you have questions, you can always ask. And if you’re seeking some fabric or wallpaper click here.
