Claire Blanchard, originally from Carrollton, Texas, has always been drawn to creativity and expression. Raised with a mix of Japanese and Irish heritage, she grew up immersed in both cultures, taking yearly trips to Japan where her grandparents lived on the small island of Okinoerabu-jima. Growing up between cultures gave her a unique perspective, while her passion for media came naturally—driven by a love for creativity.

After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Claire dove into the world of media and marketing. From editing video montages of her trips to Japan as a kid to leading marketing efforts for Hooked Magazine in college, she quickly discovered the impact of creative expression. Her viral TikTok series with her mom, What My Japanese Mom Made for Dinner, gained millions of views and led to a guest spot on Naomi Watanabe’s podcast—a surreal moment for Claire, as Naomi was someone she grew up watching.

Now, Claire helps individuals and brands bring their ideas to life through fresh, engaging content rooted in creativity and authenticity.
