About

I am a Lead UX Product Designer specialising in UX/UI Design, Design Thinking, Service Design and UX Facilitation. I have 18 years of industry experience, and I am passionate about creating usable products with a particular interest in digital products. I have worked with talented people across different companies, from start-ups to large Fortune 500 multinationals.

I have a broad creative background; I completed my studies in Visual Communications at the Dublin Institute of Technology in 2005. Shortly afterwards, I completed a Master’s in Design in Florence, Italy and earned the Elite Student of the Year award for my outstanding results and participation.

I have a combined interest in visual art, music, and the design of everyday things, which has led to a diverse and exciting career. My career has taken me from Louth to Dublin, Galway, Italy, South Africa, Holland, and Cork, Ireland.

This website showcases commissioned and personal projects; please send me an email or DM if you would like to see my UX portfolio.
