ABOUT

My name is Val and I'm a Product Designer, an individual with a passion for all things. I'm the kind of person who thinks outside of the box.

Throughout my career in design, I've discovered that I'm at my best when I'm helping others succeed. Today, I do this by building websites, products, and design systems.

As a designer, I'm passionate about solving tough customer problems by combining thoughtful research, clever technology, and beautiful design. I have previously contributed to and led design teams at several agencies in Ireland.

Creating is an essential part of who I am, and I pour my heart and soul into every piece I make. Whether I'm working on a large-scale mural or a small-scale canvas, I approach each project with a sense of wonder and curiosity, eager to see where the creative process takes me.

I'm constantly on the hunt for new mediums and techniques to experiment with. I find immense pleasure in exploring the uncharted artistic territory and discovering fresh ways to express myself through my craft.
