I'm a product designer based in Spain with a strong emphasis on clear information architecture and visual storytelling. I've worked over the years with startups, non-profits, and large companies in both freelance and full-time roles. I hold a Bachelor of Design and a Master’s in Interaction and Experience Design from the University of Limerick, where I’ve also guest lectured on design thinking for undergraduate students.
