About
Dublin, Ireland"Design isn't about ego. It's about solving real business problems and making complex ideas feel simple, fresh, and market-ready."
Currently
I lead creative direction for DELI LITES Ireland, bridging the gap between a great creative concept and commercial reality — launching new product ranges, art directing trade-show stands, and building integrated digital campaigns.
A Slightly Different Background
A decade spearheading corporate branding and internal communications at PwC in Dublin taught me how to manage large-scale brand systems and work comfortably alongside senior leadership. I later stepped away to establish and run my own personal training business — hands-on experience in operations, client management and commercial strategy that still informs how I lead teams and creative projects today.
How I Work
Clear communication and smooth process, whether mentoring a team, collaborating with R&D on packaging, or coordinating external print and structural build partners. The goal: keep things grounded, efficient, and aligned with the bigger picture — from a rough initial sketch to a major rollout.
