Creativity runs in Andrea Claire’s family. She grew up on the North Shore of Long Island to an American father and Dutch mother. Her uncle in the Netherlands is an architect, and her great-great-grandfather was a Dutch painter. “There was always this kind of art and design thing in my family. As far as I can remember, I just had this innate interest in spaces and altering them and creating,” she tells Business of Home.
