What did you do before joining Impact Media?

I studied in Letterkenny and Magee University of Ulster. My first design job was with Proactive Design. I worked with the team there for 6 years before joining Impact Media over 4 years ago.

Where are you from?

I am a Galway woman!

What exactly do you do? 

As a graphic designer, my job varies every day, ranging from name generation, branding, print design and packaging.

What’s the best buzz about your job?

I guess the fact that no two days are the same. Each day is very different. My colleagues are incredible people and our work environment is very creative and energetic. I love it!

What are your career highlights so far?

It varies from time to time but whether it's a wine label or a printed brochure, its always a nice feeling when you come across a piece of your work that came together really well.

What are your spare time passions?

Animal Welfare is something I feel very strongly about. I have way too much to say on this so if you have all day…

Your one secret (but non-work related) talent.

When I was little, I remember that my brothers were always kicking ball, playing soccer or football, I would always annoy them to let me play, because I was 'the girl' I was always shoved in goals. Today I must admit I'm not a bad goalie!, thanks lads!

What’s your favourite ad of all time?

I think that would have to be the Guinness Horse Surfer Ad.

If you were reincarnated, who or what would you come back as?

I would like to come back as a butterfly then 4 days later as Frank Sinatra.

People say I look like…

the Duracell bunny, cause I hate slowing down...

What’s your idea of perfect happiness?

A grande skinny cappuccino, a big cosy open fire and a comfy hoodie (preferably navy), all in the company of your friends and family.

What’s your dream vehicle?

One that doesn’t let you down! (ever)
