I was central to the production and worked in many different aspects such as design and commissioning as well as art directing photo shoots and editing. I am currently working for the Irish Daily Mail as a magazine and newspaper designer. I also do some work on the newspaper’s digital app, MailPlus.
Early in my career I discovered a flair for design while on work experience from my journalism course in Rathmines Senior College. Working at The Echo newspaper in Tallaght I was encouraged to pursue design.
In 2002 I obtained a Journalism Certificate and in 2019 a certificate in Web Design, both from Griffith College, Dublin. Aside from the training and experience I have received over the years from various employers in magazines, newspapers and an advertising agency I attended a number of short courses in institutions such as Central Saint Martins in London and IADT Dun Laoghaire.
I have completed courses including Art Direction for Photography, Typography and Illustration. I have also undertaken various software-based training courses.
I recieved my MA in Communication Design from NCAD (National College of Art and Design, Dublin) in 2021.
