today

Currently working as Product Experience Design Manager with the Customer Experience & Design (CX&D) team at Mastercard's European Tech Hub in Dublin, Ireland — the headquarters for Foundry, Mastercard’s global R&D division, dedicated to innovation and technology.

Working with strategists, researchers, content designers, and visual designers to set new standards of design at Mastercard. Partnering with a global multi-disciplinary team to deliver best-in-class products and differentiated experiences that are shaping the future of payments and digital commerce of tomorrow.

Background

In a previous life, I have worked as a freelance graphic designer, as an illustrator on publishing projects, and as an in-house Senior Designer at education publisher Riverdeep Interactive Learning — now HMH (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). Here I had the opportunity to help shape a design team, mentor young designers at the start of their careers, as well as design award-winning digital products for US and international markets.

I worked as creative director at PixelSoup — designing brand and product experiences across print, digital and environments — delivering on key brand projects for clients including Barretstown, Caterpillar, Connacht Gold, ESB Group, Lidl, Nightline, Parcel Motel, RTÉ, Unilever, Volvo and Web Summit.

I hold a B.Des in Industrial Design — jointly awarded by The National College of Art and Design (NCAD) in Dublin and the University of Limerick — which has given me key skills in understanding how people experience and interact with objects and their surroundings, as well as a versatile process that can be applied to many different contexts, all of which I bring to my work on digital products.

Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling to explore new places, finding a quiet corner to sketch or read a book, adding new songs to an ever-increasing list of playlists, digging into a bowl of seafood chowder, and hanging out with friends and a growing family, preferably on a sandy shore or a wooded hillside.
