About

.

Hello! My name is Claire Chan. I'm currently a second year Computer Science student at Carnegie Mellon University. I have a passion for creative design and web development, and I've created this site to share some of my recent projects. I aim to build bridges between elegant code and beautiful design. I hope to someday create products that will impact people all over the world.

I build from scratch because it gives me full control over my ideas. All external resources I use in my work are created from stock images and open source code. My favorite programming language is Python and my favorite imaging program is GIMP. I am considering minoring in either Communication Design or Human Computer Interaction.

I aim to build beautiful, interactive sites that capture your attention.

    View: CMU Asian Students Association website
    Concept: We wanted a warm and inviting site to show off our sense of community. I used polaroids, weathered paper, bright colors, and playful fonts to create a unique scrapbook feel.
    Features: full jQuery animation, user can add photos through facebook

    View: Big Straw Magazine website
    Concept: The previous version of the site was serious and business professional. We went for a more fun, playful feel to reflect the new look of the magazine. Collaborators: Amanda Ko, Stephanie Yeung
    Features: jQuery animated "bubble" navigation

Current Projects:
  • 2013 CMU International Film Festival - site redesign and e-commerce implementation
  • CMU Ballroom Dance Club - site redesign
