I enjoy making sense of things - the more complex the problem, the more satisfying the outcome. I try to leverage all aspects of my experience, whether design related or not. I have a natural curiosity that always pushes me to explore, investigate and understand what I don’t know.. as well as being a practical thinker who focuses on what works now and what steps will actually move things forward. While I like to think I was once an optimist who could promise to deliver any possible design you wanted, I am now very much a realist. I think that comes from the last 7 years of designing in financial services.

Most of my career has been in the finance world, which is ironic considering I dropped every finance related subject in school as soon as I could. But it has taught me quite a bit.. how to balance strict regulations with creativity, how to work with tight constraints without losing empathy and how to design with precision without overcomplicating things. It’s made me a more adaptable, detail focused designer who can think strategically when it counts.

Outside of work, I've been a keen gamer ever since I discovered Miniclip games on our families first computer. My very first job was actually designing multiplayer maps on a Grand Theft Auto server, pretty much like the Sims.. Since then I've tried my hand at streaming and competitive gaming. Away from my computer, I'm big into football which I play a couple of times a week, as well as golf, where I lose more golf balls than I find.

I've been living in Toronto since 2023, after living in Ireland all my life.. and I'm excited to stay here to see what the future holds.
