Clare Norman

Senior quality coach

she/her

Passionate about the human side of software: the people who build it as much as the people who use it. I believe great products come from great collaboration, and I love facilitating the kind of conversations that turn complexity into clarity. My focus is on making software that's inclusive for everyone. I believe software shouldn't just be functional, but joyful too. Here are some more words it's 404
