She now spends her time speaking and consulting, continuing to support Pliio - the clothing organizing tool that helps you keep clothes neat, and hosting the Happy Space Podcast - where inclusion meets design. Clare is located in Toronto and is also the Regional Director of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program in Canada.
