What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values creativity and innovation, fostering collaboration and growth.

As a seasoned Head of Design with over a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in UX/UI, branding, and multimedia design. My journey began in Venice, Italy, and has led me to Dublin, where I have collaborated with renowned startups and brands, including The North Face and the National Library of Ireland. My work is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to creating impactful, user-centered designs that resonate with audiences.

Throughout my career, I have led multidisciplinary teams to deliver innovative design solutions across various platforms. Notably, I spearheaded the redesign of the National Library of Ireland’s website, which received accolades at the Spider Awards. My passion for design extends beyond aesthetics; I believe in the power of strategic thinking and creative problem-solving to enhance user experiences. I am dedicated to fostering collaboration and mentorship within my teams, ensuring that we not only meet client objectives but exceed them.
