Professional Profile
I grew up in Dublin, Ireland, and graduated from Dublin City University with a B.Sc. in Enterprise Computing. I am an innovative, multidisciplinary designer with a passion for intricate detail and creativity.
I have a wide range of experience of creating content and designs for a number of successful individuals/brands including creating the illustrations for Conor McGregor's "MacTalk App", numerous Snapchat geofilters with over 600 million views, Jeff Seid’s clothing line and producing the logo, t-shirts and posters for Dublin City University’s largest student society, the Accounting & Finance Society. Although I have a vast skill set which allows me to undertake projects from all across the graphic design spectrum, my greatest expertise revolves around social media branding.
Having spent the past year in New York City. I have returned to Dublin & I am now looking to create ties with people and companies in the Digital space with similar interests to mine. I am happy to chat with individuals and companies should they feel I can be of assistance to them by creating content for a website, branding a new product coming to market or consulting with marketing and design teams on a new design concept.
