About my work life…

I’ve always been passionate about design, art, photography and studied Design Communications in college. Having worked internationally with one of the first independent award-winning direct-marketing advertising agencies in Australia, ‘MercerBell’. We were a great team and I managed the studio and the workflows for all the creative teams for seven years. Working with clients including Adobe, launching InDesign & Creative Suite, LandRover, Makita, Qantas, MasterCard & Citibank. I then went freelance and became a contractor for small and large companies including Bauer Media creative promotions for ‘Harpers Bazaar’, ‘House & Garden’, ‘Shop till you Drop’ and ‘Australian Women’s Weekly’. This inspired my knowledge of fashion and luxury goods with advertorials and photoshoots, it was a high volume, fast deadlines environment. I’m also grateful that these opportunities brought me to South East Asia and Central America.

I moved back to Ireland in 2015 where my passion had allowed me to work in branding, website development, marketing, advertising and TV & Film pitch decks. During the pandemic I unleashed my creativity with numerous Christmas scenes in shop front decor, adding a bit of festive cheer to the community in various local towns. Screen printing is also a new favourite with The Graphic Studio, Dublin.

I still enjoy the challenge of new creative projects and currently I’m designing pitch decks for TV & Film production companies, with strong creative imagery and details to capture the minds and energy of those professionals that bring it to life on the screen.

Living in Wicklow provides countless scenic backdrops. There’s nothing I love more than exploring and discovering behind the wheel of my vintage MGB with my trusty navigator ‘Buster’ my 7 year old rescue dog.
