1.

I hold an M.Arch from Dublin's School of Architecture which is the foundation of how I design. Spatial reasoning is a fundamental skill that informs my decisions, starting with people first.

I design products the way I'd design a building: structure first, experience second. Every component has function and intentionality resulting in ergonomic systems
