I design digital products that ship. With 11+ years of end-to-end agency experience, I work from early research and architecture through to engineering handoff — bringing both design rigour and technical fluency to every stage of the process.

What I do?

I work across the full product design lifecycle — from discovery and UX architecture through to high-fidelity prototyping, design systems, and engineering handoff. My background in both design and frontend development means I understand what I'm asking of engineers, and I build accordingly. As a fluent Irish speaker, I'm one of the few senior product designers who can lead bilingual digital projects end-to-end — from strategy through to launch — without anything lost in translation.

001UX / Product
  • UX architecture
  • User workflow mapping
  • Dashboard interface design
  • WCAG accessibility

I turn complex user journeys into interfaces that feel obvious. Whether it's a checkout flow, a dashboard, or an onboarding experience — the goal is always less friction, more clarity.

002Prototyping & Research
  • High-fidelity Figma
  • Component / variable architecture
  • AI-assisted prototyping
  • Prompt-to-UI workflows
  • UXR facilitation

I'd rather find the problem in a prototype than in production. Research and high-fidelity testing are baked into every sprint, so decisions are grounded before a line of code is written.

003Design Systems
  • Component-based systems
  • Design token libraries
  • Pattern libraries
  • Cross-platform consistency
  • Scalable handoff docs

Components, tokens, and documentation that scale. I build systems that keep cross-functional teams aligned and products visually consistent — from the first component to the hundredth screen.

004Engineering & Strategy
  • HTML5 / CSS3
  • Feasibility validation
  • Sprint planning
  • Stakeholder management
  • Brand strategy

Having built from both sides, I know what makes a handoff actually work. I validate feasibility during concept, speak the language of engineers, and make sure what gets designed is what gets built.
