Bio

A wee lad born on a farm in Ireland, when you grow up in the middle of nowhere, you have to find something to do. I gravitated toward carpentry and drawing as a kid, and I guess I got the bug early.

I studied industrial design, a degree where I focused on a mix of service and product design. During this period, I also helped set up one of the premium bespoke design shops in Dublin as its first employee, originally a shoebox-sized store, we expanded to a multi-storey high-end product store (industryandco.com).

Beginning my career Head first I Jumped into a product design company called Pop Company in Dublin, where I produced products from idea to manufacturing for companies worldwide; some of the more prominent clients included Otis Spunkmeyer and Super Quinn.

Though I enjoyed time at the Pop Company, I missed the work experience looking at consumer experience and user behaviours. I started working freelance for a couple of months (I worked for Adobe and a few smaller companies).

Eventually, I found about the new design consultancy in IBM London called IX, I applied, and within a few weeks, I joined the IX London
Studio.

After my time in IBM IX, I moved to Dubai for a year to work on several projects for Dubai Airport and MAF. Due to the pandemic, I returned to London to lend a hand to a startup working as the Senior Product Owner/ Design Lead.

But enough talk, let's look at some of my work.
