With ten years of industry experience, I specialise in identity design and brand management, as well as editorial design, photography and copywriting. My career has seen me working with clients in sectors such as finance & law, cultural institutes, government bodies as well as hospitality & national tourism. For the last number of years I have focussed on a freelance career, working closely with my clients as a consultant and designer to help them realise their brand.

Education and Career

I graduated from the Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Ireland in 2013 with a BA in Visual Communications.

In 2013 I worked at Arekibo as a Junior User Interface and Experience Designer, with an emphasis on website and app layout and design. Following this, in 2014 I joined the small team at Form Design as a Junior Designer before moving to the larger brand agency, Huguenot, in 2015.

In January of 2016 I started working in Zero-G Communications, where I spent four years engaging closely with clients such as The Government of Ireland, St.Patricks Festival, The Special Olympics, Trinity Business School and The Abbey Theatre. It was here that I gained what I consider to be my most valuable experience to date, refining a rich and varied skillset for employing effective communication strategies.

In 2020 I moved from Ireland to Sweden in search of a more varied work/life balance, working as the Content and Media Manager for Immeln Canoe Center.

Today

As of 2021 I have been living in Finland working as a freelance Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Content Creator and Copywriter. My clients include Marttiini Knives (FI), Knives and Tools (NL), Bearhill Husky Tours (FI) and Outsite Magazine (DK). I am available as a freelance designer, photographer and communications strategist. Feel free to get in touch here.
