What I’m up to these days
-- Settling into life in Ireland with curiosity and attention to detail.
-- Exploring Cursor and code-led making through small self-initiated builds.
-- Reading design books, learning through notes, and following ideas around technology and systems.
-- Exploring local food, bakeries, Irish towns, and art festivals along the way.

Outside work
-- I’m drawn to films, music, art, and the small details in everyday life that reveal how people live and make sense of the world.
-- I document life constantly through notes, books, podcasts, long walks, and half-formed ideas that often become future projects.
-- I build things with my 4-year-old using cardboard, colours, and stories, which keeps me close to play and simple ways of making.
-- I’m fascinated by lived-in spaces, from cafés and streets to walkable neighborhoods.
-- I enjoy figuring things out from scratch and shaping them with care.
