Myself, my wonderful wife Meg, our curious daughter Aibhlinn (R) and the indefatigable Mairead (L).
About
I’m an experienced senior product and UX designer working at the intersection of hardware, software, and services.
Using a human-centered design approach, I am able to define problems, identify opportunities, and translate business objectives into strategic and functional design.
Working on cross-functional teams, I strive to break down barriers that exist between disciplines, facilitate a deeper appreciation and understanding of user needs, and create value for the user. I am passionate about building and fostering culture, process, and collaboration that empowers individuals to make a difference and teams to perform at optimal levels.
I’m currently seeking a senior/lead UX design role where I can help take products to new levels. Ideally this role involves designing for hardware and/or services in the consumer space, but I’m open to all types of challenges.
