Experience & Approach

For over 15 years, I’ve designed and built digital products that help startups, scaling businesses, and global companies create meaningful user experiences with real impact. My focus spans B2B, B2C, and SaaS products, always aiming to solve problems that matter.

I’ve worked on dozens of successful Irish businesses, helped shape Europe’s largest airline with 80+ million monthly users, and transformed Swrve’s digital marketing platform (later acquired) as it evolved into a full omnichannel marketing solution. I’ve also designed and built iOS and Android platforms for Innerstrength Health (acquired) and collaborated with a range of startups across different industries.

Beyond client work, I’ve designed and built several of my own apps—exploring ideas that pique my interest.

I thrive when working closely with leadership teams and founders—people who deeply understand their space and users but need a design partner to bring their vision to life.

My approach is simple: identify real user needs, cut the noise, put in the work, and deliver results—motivated teams, great products, and happy users.
