I've been working as/studying design for over 6 years, but my 'career' really started way before that when I was in school selling homemade comics to my friends. Since that glamourous start, my work has been featured in publications such as Computer Arts, IDN magazine, Deviart Art, Typography Served, Behance Network amongst others. In 2010 I was awarded a Merit from the International Society of Typographic Designers for my enviromental awareness piece, 'Consider This'. Really want to learn more about me?

After leaving school, I studied in NCAD doing Core Year and some Fine Art painting. After deciding that painting wasn't doing it for me I left college and landed a job in the music for schools company Coca-Cola Blastbeat, working designing flyers using my blagged art skills. Over the three years I worked in a range of areas for the company, from print to to developing company visual identity, web design and development, all while learning Photoshop, HTML, CSS, Flash and PHP coding on the job.

I began working freelance to try and do a wider variety of work. Over the last couple of years I have done a range of work for a range of clients including The Maire Keating Foundation, Yamaha, music stores, retail, fashion, musicians/ bands and even a festish club!

After putting it off for several years, in 2006 I realised that I really need to get a degree if I was to move from 'the guy who does funny doodles' to being a 'proper graphic designer'. Currently I in my fourth (and final) year in Dublin Institute of Technology studying Visual Communications and almost ready to step into the big, wide world (again).
