About Us
Claire graduated from the College of Marketing & Design in Dublin Ireland with a degree in Exhibit & Environmental Design. Immediately upon graduation Claire spent 7 years as a designer at Modern Display Artists in Dublin before joining 1220 Exhibits in Nashville Tennessee, where she rapidly rose to the Title of Creative Director. She then returned to Ireland as a founding member of McCabe O’Farrell Design.
By 1997 America came calling again, and Claire became Managing Director of Button Eventures USA. Claire developed Button’s client base in the TV Industry and was quickly promoted to President. In 2002 Claire joined Tangram International as Vice President and ran the Los Angeles office for the worldwide company for 12 years. Claire then stepped out on her own once more to create Claire O’Farrell Design (COFD), based in Los Angeles. She brought international clients to all the major entertainment industry shows including NATPE, MIPCOM, MIPTV, Licensing Show , Brand Licencing Europe, NYC Toy Fair, and Comic-Con, and also developed and created CatCon. Her clients include Disney Consumer Products, Entertainment One, Cartoon Network, 20th Century Fox, MGA Entertainment, Sesame Workshop, Televisa, IM Global, Jerde Architects, Rockefeller Group, Vornado, Warner Bros, Moxie Brand Agency & CatCon Worldwide.
Caroline has spent the last 10 years in the custom design, production, and events industry. Starting out as a Project Manager at a boutique design and fabrication shop – she worked with clients like HBO, MGM, Nike, and Jordan Brand producing meeting spaces, tradeshow booths, and retail events.
After 5 years she moved over to the agency world – working as an Executive Producer for the experiential marketing team at McKinney. Agency life threw Caroline into the world of live event production – working with Samsung HQ’s mobile division. Working on product launches for the Samsung S8, Samsung Gear VR, and a US roll out of Samsung experience stores set the base for her passion for live event work.
For the past two years Caroline has teamed up with Claire O’Farrell Design as a Project Director and provides project management services which is the center to every project and is the key to effective communication, co-ordination and problem solving. Caroline prides herself on her ability to maintain budgets and schedule control from concept to completion to exceed her client’s expectations.

“CLAIRE IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED DESIGNERS IN THE BUSINESS.
"She has the perfect combination of creativity and practicality that she customizes for each client. She also has the great ability of scaling up or down depending on ever-changing budgets. One of Claire’s best qualities that clients appreciate is her persistence to ensure that EVERYTHING gets done and will not stop until the client is 100% satisfied. Thank you for being an amazing partner, it is truly a pleasure to work with you.
