Sarah Lauder - Sarah Lauder Production
Claire worked with us recently on the Dobbies Spring Campaign and was a really welcome member of the team. She really knows her stuff from a horticultural point of view - as the beautiful rockery she built and the carefully planned planters demonstrated. Claire has a great eye and styled all the main set-ups on the shoot, and was fully involved in the whole process from attending the PPM to selecting the accessories and products in store, to working closely with the photographer on set when adjustments needed to be made.
She remains calm and cheerful throughout the process and worked with the team to ensure our tight timescales and tricky set-ups were captured during our time on set.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Claire for any styling job of this kind and hope we get to work with her again soon.

'Claire's input was invaluable!'
This feedback from our client gives us no doubt in recommending her ability and authentic creativity with potential to become THE go to garden stylist. We are so happy to be able to offer her services which add another string to our bow as a creative agency. Claire is proactive, positive and a lot of fun to work with. Claire was promt and very reliable with responding to emails and supplying the portfolio images required for proposals.

Claire is fun and an easy person to work with. The partnership between photographer and stylist is key to the success of a commercial set up so her direction, positive outlook and commitment to the project made all the difference. We went to four different sites in a day, she did not stop running around but Claire focussed straight in on each shoot with consistent effort to create dialogue, think on her feet and assist in every way possible to get the photographs we needed on the day. I hope we get to do this again soon.

We worked with Claire Howe to Design the Website PH Designer Landcapes for which she is Marketing Director and Stylist. Their approach to the project was clear and Claire's knowledge and understanding of design communication came across leaps and bounds.Their attention to detail and determination to push limits to achieve their vision is outstanding. The project lead Claire Howe worked meticulously to provide us with a clear and conscious brief. She designed the website layout for each landing page which delivered the project to completion. Her extensive understanding on the company market place was invaluable for PH Design landscapes. All communication was done remotely through use of technology which again gave a modern approach to a fast turn around project.
Bride, as featured on Love My Dress - no. 1 British bridal blog
We wanted our wedding day to be kept simple and to reflect our laid back approach. Neither of us like too much fuss, strict traditions or stuffy wedding ‘rules’. We also wanted to steer clear of the obvious Beatles and 60s theme but incorporated other favourite things: wine, books, candles and tulips.
Claire is very creative and she was amazing at helping to put all of our ideas together and coming up with details on how to set the tables and decorate the various jars we’d saved up to hold the candles. Claire and her husband Paul made the crate for our table plan and she handmade decorations for the top table of wood, parcel paper and old books. She is a total perfectionist and I think she was still running around the venue tweaking things 10 minutes before I arrived. She did a fantastic job.

I have enjoyed every aspect of having Claire involved with my garden project, she has a warm personality and really listens. Her enthusiasm for what she does shines and she managed to balance her knowledge of what is on trend with what was right for me. Claire looked a little around my home and instantly picked up on my personal style and taste to which she added her own textile design flare She came up with the colour scheme, selected exact complimentary shades for all the woodwork and helped source accessories to create a look.. She was great at sourcing affordable items and was confident in decision making of the larger more expensive pieces of furniture too. We couldn't find anything like her unique hand painted pots that we now have to finish off the garden. I was delighted to see the photographs in Living North Magazine and all our friends come and party in the garden now!
