Mary O'Malley
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)
