Education
BA Interaction Design, NCAD
Awarded by University College Dublin, 2026
I'm a graduate Interaction Designer from NCAD, Dublin, with a focus on designing products and services grounded in real human needs and systems.
My work spans digital product design, service design, and UX research. I've designed across education, health, and social connection, working with partners including Dublin City Council, Smart Dublin, Accenture The Dock, and the CP-Life Research Centre through NCAD's Studio+ programme.
I'm drawn to problems that sit inside real constraints, systems that aren't working for everyone, and the gap between what exists and what's actually needed.

Outside of work
Theater and live performance.
I go to a lot of plays and musicals. There's something about how a live production designs an experience for an audience that I find endlessly interesting.
Live music.
Particularly local and emerging artists. There's a different kind of energy in a small venue that you don't get anywhere else.
