From customising MySpace profile pages and adding marquee scorlls on Geocitites, I’ve learned the error of my ways and am now a UX designer at Booking.com.
In 2008 I studied Interactive Multimedia Design. The following year, I received a Postgraduate Diploma in Multidisciplinary Design and went on to work at the award winning design and branding agency, Huguenot in Dublin.

I spent a few years in London contracting on various design roles and contributed to John Lewis’s online retail success in the mid-2010s.
ODOU was a self-initiated, self-run printed magazine I started in 2013. Articles won literary awards for fragrance journalism and it was stocked in Tate Modern, London — one of my proudest achievements.
In 2016 I moved to The Netherlands and joined Booking.com’s marketing team. I created scalable, templatised solutions for various B2B emails, landing pages, and microsites.
In 2019 I pivoted towards a UX design role, a role I’ve found immense joy and satisfaction working in.
I have a rigorous approach to UX, helped solve user issues, and used my workshop facilitation skills to bring teams together.
