My abilities and interests in the wide spectrum of design have taken me to many more creative places than solely graphics – I’ve designed mobile phones for LG Electronics in Dublin, Ireland; designed and manufactured lighting products for GE Plastics in Cleveland, OH; concepted wearable technology in a joint project with Compaq and Levi in Savannah, GA; developed new ceramics for the iconic Irish pottery legend Belleek Living, Ireland; have been design and brand manager at the 5th largest law firm in the world, Allen & Overy in Shoreditch, London, UK where I managed a team of 13 designers across London and Belfast; art directed photoshoots; created provocative copy in advertising for Fortune 500 companies; lectured in St Josephs University, PA and the University of Ulster, Belfast, NI; and even presented a series of global video conferences on the importance, relevance and impact of great strategic design for sustained business success in a volatile marketplace.
