Resumé

About Me

I’m a UX & Design Professional living in Dublin, Ireland.

I’m passionate about making a tangible difference using fresh ideas and outstanding craftsmanship. I started in advertising and marketing, and slowly built up a skillset that stretches the scope of what you might consider design - including Service Design, Design Thinking advocacy and facilitation, UI and Design systems. I have an obsessive curiosity that helps me pick up new skills everywhere I go.
