About me

I’m an Irish Art Director who is based in London.

I’ve worked in the advertising industry for over eight years, developing my craft across both art direction and design.
I’ve partnered with Irish, British and international brands including Jaguar Land Rover, Smurfit Kappa, Wilshire, Slack, Allianz and Carlsberg and many more.

I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor’s degree in Design and Visual Communications from IADT Dún Laoghaire. My background in design underpins my approach to art direction, combining strong visual craft with big ideas.

I was also very proud to have represented Ireland in the Print category at the Cannes Young Lions Competition.
