Clara joined Bell Design Group in 2017 and quickly began leading much of our extensive work on affordable housing and hospitality projects in California and across the country. Her role includes a specific focus on universal design and building for inclusivity and accessibility. As the Director of Special Projects, Clara’s expertise has been greatly informed by her prior experience in institutional architecture and her passion for bridging the gap between functionality and luxury.

Clara's interests as an architect and studio mentor stem from a desire to create spaces that are visually stunning yet highly functional for their inhabitants. This includes creating spaces that are accessible to all and enhance the quality of life for the users.
