Every human-computer interaction requires design thinking.

As a designer, I strive to make these interactions effortless.

About

 

All through my experience as a designer, I have been fortunate to work alongside some passionate and talented like-minded individuals, who share my drive to create the best possible experience for both end user and client.


Some of the clients I’ve worked with recently include An Post, BP, HSE, Johnson Matthey and Rathbones.


When I’m not designing, you’ll find me either outdoors supporting my local gaa club or running some ridiculous distance to try and stay fit.
