UI

4 years as a UI designer at Dept® Agency in Dublin. Designing and building for health services, e-commerce and marketing sites, with an eye for craft, type, layout, spacing and textures.

UX

With its natural adjacency to UI, and my own tendency towards structure, architecture, and reusable patterns, UX is a big part of the job. Working through complex data models, conducting research and user testing to identify patterns and insights.

Design Systems

Whether setting up from scratch or scaling larger legacy systems, this is where I spend most of my time. I enjoy clever, flexible foundations, leveraging design tokens to move fast and efficiently. Now, excited for the challenge of figuring out where agents fit into our systems desigend by humans for humans.

Accessibility

My main project at Dept® is working the design system for our national health service provider. What this project has taught me in terms of designing truly accessible user interfaces is one of the most valuable qualities to this experience.
Certified in W3Cx: Introduction to Web Accessibility.

Prototyping

With tools like Claude, Lovable and many more, prototyping is changing from Figma flows and click-throughs to functional, testable builds. I use AI to narrow the gap between idea and working prototype, in Claude Code, then lean on fast iteration and user testing to refine.

Motion

Well-crafted motion is now the standard in digital. I'm excited by how new tools and technologies are breaking down barriers and making it easier to apply quality motion design to experiences.

Development

Through my code-curiosity and my hands-on experience building with low-code tools, this has become flex. I'm a "Technical Designer" if you will. It helps me design with implementation in mind and makes collabotation with devs easier and more interesting.
