Claire Vlach is a multidisciplinary public space designer with a background in urban planning, urban design, and landscape architecture. This variety of experience allows Claire to approach projects at a range of scales: from downtown plazas, to neighborhood districts, to regional transportation corridors. Claire enjoys creating places where people can spend time in their community, and working on projects that address the relationship between transportation and the built environment. She has over fifteen years of experience, is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP), and is a Registered Landscape Architect in the state of Oregon. In her spare time Claire likes to bike, dance, and volunteer with local nonprofits to make Portland the best that it can be.
