Rene Clawson is the principal and co-founder Clawson Architects and Clawson Cabinets in Maplewood, NJ.

René has big ideas….like starting Clawson Architects in 2000. She harnessed her intuitive sense of style and love of art and design into a career and this thriving architectural practice. Since launching the firm, René has completed hundreds of extraordinary, elegant residential restoration, addition, and new constructionprojects. When her favorite cabinet dealer decided to retire, she was presented with the opportunity to learn the cabinet business and so of course, now owns a cabinet dealership.

As an active volunteer and leader in professional, business and community organizations, Rene is frequently invited to speak about small business. The four-time president of the local Chamber of Commerce, Rene cannot say enough about the importance of networking and she is happy to share with engaging stories of how Clawson Architects landed one of the firms biggest projects to Money Man Mike in her presentation on How to Network both in person and digitally.

René is a Licensed Architect in the states of New Jersey and New York and is also a Certified Interior Designer in New Jersey.
