I am an independent designer and creative director specialising in branding. Also a crypto native, coffee nerd and enthusiastic mountain biker. With 15 years design experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with top marketing and design teams to create compelling and strategic creative work, crafting industry leading design work. 

Actively involved in designing for the blockchain industry, recent projects involved designing the Crypto and Web3 Strategy Paper for Blockchain Ireland and creating live event materials for their annual Blockchain Ireland week. I’m also involved in contributing to some Web3 DAO’s.

With extensive experience working in both fast pace agencies and on-site with large corporate clients, I’ve been involved in original content and brand creation as well as adapting existing brand content to work across a wide variety of both digital and print mediums. 

Working across a range of industries including technology, financial, automotive, startups, FMCG & large grocery retail, I’ve had the opportunity to work with brands such as: Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, Heineken, Vodafone, Audi, Volkswagen, Tesco, Lidl, RSA and Bank of Ireland amongst many others. 

I enjoy being involved in all aspects of a projects lifecycle from ideation, design and copywriting to campaign planning and strategy. One of my strengths is working collaboratively, bringing the best out of team members through mentoring, providing constructive feedback and creative direction. 

I regularly work with clients across different time zones globally, facilitated through project management software like Jira, Basecamp, Google Productivity Suite, MS Teams and Zoom. I also use Discord and Dework while contributing to Web3 communities. 

As a design leader with a passion for learning, I bring a wealth of knowledge, creativity and positive energy to every project I work on.
