What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and innovation, with opportunities for growth and collaboration in a dynamic team environment.

I am a Product Design Manager based in Ireland with over 15 years of experience in designing digital applications, websites, and multi-channel campaigns. My expertise in User Research, UX, and UI has guided my teams in developing feature strategies through experimentation and continuous iteration. Recently, I have focused on learning best practices in Generative AI to create applications that are accessible and beneficial for all users.

At Workhuman, I lead the design and collaboration of a global eCommerce Recognition app, used by millions across 70+ countries. I oversee three Product Design teams, measuring UX ROI through A/B testing and usability tests. My role involves close collaboration with product research teams and stakeholders to plan initiatives on a roadmap format, and I am currently leading the creation of a scalable email design system to maximize our marketing efforts.

My previous experience includes providing UX consultation at Wondr.io and working as a Senior Digital Designer at McCann Dublin, where I integrated user flows and innovative features into the design process. I have a strong commitment to mentoring junior staff and ensuring high design standards across projects, while also presenting work to clients on web best practices.
