About Me

I started out waiting tables and pulling pints in a busy bar in Dublin. By the time I realised that UX design was my real interest, I was staring at an Assistant Manager position in a city centre restaurant. I love creating experiences for people, but not just in the serving of delicious food (and a smile and a wink). I wanted to make and improve things that people use in their daily life, so I took a course in UX design.

I pull from my service background, and personal love of optimising everything I can get my hands on, to create efficient and enjoyable user-centred designs.

I am based in Dublin, but I hail from the windy west coast, in a small village in Sligo. Living in two different worlds, meeting people from all walks of life, has given me an appreciation for the diversity of human experiences.
