I began creating websites at home as a teen, and since then I've years of the whole digital

product lifecycle. I've helped turn failing 2-star apps into 5-star ones, grown products, and

I've helped turn failing 2-star apps into 5-star ones, grown products, and designed beautiful user interfaces that delight users. I turn ideas into products that are both usable and beautiful.

And I've led several design teams, including leading the product design team for Conversational

AI, Automation, and Self-Service at Genesys — (not an AI dash btw) blimey, that's a real mouth full. And currently I'm a principal product designer over strategy & vision at Workhuman.

I love solving problems and creating great digital products. I'm passionate about design and

technology. And how they can be used to creating products that empower, enhance and delight

users.

Over the years I've had my fair share of failures and setbacks. These experiences provide me

with learnings and insights that help me create better products. They also allow me to speak

and write about those experiences. And I've been lucky to speak at events in Ireland and the US.
