A problem-solving, driven designer from County Clare, I'm all about work that works well – designing systems, brands, and experiences that are insightful, helpful and human to help drive positive change.
I've had fantastic experiences working in Limerick, Dublin, Austria (design-related), Canada and Tanzania (not so design-related).
Currently with the lovely people at Wove Strategic Design and Consulting and lecturing in Design History and Visual Culture at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology Dún Laoghaire.
My website needs a major update, which is coming soon :)
