Clara Hayes

With a background in Kinesiology and Human Factors Engineering, Clara Hayes serves as GiftsPick’s Ergonomics, Usability, and Consumer Experience Analyst.

She spent eight years consulting on inclusive consumer product design, evaluating how people of all ages—from young children to active adults and elderly parents—physically interact with household machines, wearable gear, furniture, electronics, and lifestyle gifts.

Clara does not rely on subjective "comfort" claims; she utilizes digital push-pull force gauges, tactile pressure-mapping sensors, decibel sound meters, and out-of-the-box setup timers to measure the physical toll and learning curve a product imposes on the user.

Her empathy-driven, biometric testing ensures that every item recommended on GiftsPick—regardless of category or price point—translates strong technical specifications into effortless, frustration-free usability from the very first unboxing.
