Claire Riggs

September 14, 2016 by OKWIT

claire-riggsTell us a little about yourself.

I graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2005 with a B.A., in Journalism of Advertising. When I was seven I asked for an electric typewriter. I thought I was destined to be a writer.

It wasn’t until college that I discovered graphic and web design.
I am an honorary member of the Myriad Gardens and a member of IAO, Individual Artists of Oklahoma and Women in Technology.

Well, I live my life for the loves in my life. My daughter is 17 and very much a handful! My wife owns a restaurant in the Paseo, OKC’s Art District called Picasso’s.

Describe your STEM experience.

I have been using my skills including; graphic design, professional writing, photography, and web design for 12 years. I have worked for mostly non-profits such as Casady School, Heritage Hall, Myriad Botanical Gardens, and Astec Charter Schools. I am very honored to be the Assistant to Dr. Freda Deskin. Working at a STEM school is very exciting.

What led you to a STEM career?

I love art and when I found out I could combine art with technology I knew I found my calling.

Why did you join OKWIT?

Well, I was working on a Luncheon for Dr. Donna Shirley and I was led to your site, I was so excited to see that such a group existed. After talking with a few members I was confident that this organization was for me.
