Claire Botkin founded Autodraft, Inc. in 1983 for the purpose of marketing and supporting AutoCAD. Through dedication and perseverance, she has grown the company to its present size of twelve full-time and two part-time employees. Autodraft holds the title of being the oldest Autodesk reseller company in Canada.

Claire has a keen sense of fairness in relationships with customers and employees, and was the Alberta Nominee for the Canadian Women Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1995. One reason for her success is her many years of experience as a drafter/designer at such companies as SaskTel and SaskPower (Regina), Manitoba Hydro (Winnipeg), Stelco and Westinghouse (Hamilton), and Cole, Sherman and Associates (Toronto), where she worked on various electrical, mechanical and building design projects.
