CLAIRE LISTON
Vice President of Creative Services

Claire brings a combination of technical skill and creative excellence to Nautilus, helping clients maximize their communications potential. She specializes in creating “big business” standards of appearance for small businesses and nonprofits, even on a budget, from needs assessment through logo design and corporate identity. She is a Web site designer extraordinaire, and manages our agency Web site as well as those of many of our clients.

For nearly ten years, Claire has worked for and with non-profit groups and trade associations doing public relations, publications and meeting planning. She launched her consulting business in 1998 and became Nautilus’s first associate and most constant resource for new media needs. She was profiled in the September 2000 issue of Entrepreneur’s Start-ups magazine, where her customer-service orientation was touted: “Serve your clients in as many ways as you know how.” She thinks business should grow in the direction of client needs, and she is a frequent early adaptor of new PR and communications technologies and services.

At the end of the day, Claire’s communications expertise goes to the dogs. In the past three years, she has provided foster care and training for more than 100 homeless canines. This passion fits well with her love of hiking and taking long walks in her adopted hometown of Alexandria, Virginia. And Claire loves the warm fuzzies—literally.
