Hi, I'm Dean Byrne, a Product Designer with hands-on experience across the full product development life cycle—from user research and concept ideation to CAD, prototyping and validation. I enjoy turning complex challenges into intuitive, sustainable packaging and product solutions, with a knack for cross-functional collaboration and delivering at pace. I've led and contributed to multi-disciplinary teams across startup and corporate environments, driving projects from brief to delivery and validating concepts through tests. I'm currently applying sustainable design principles at Henkel and am excited to keep creating value through thoughtful design and practical engineering.
