I'm a 22-year-old Product Designer from Kerry, Ireland, passionate about human-centred healthcare design, UX/UI, and innovation. I combine mechanical prototyping, digital product design, and user research to address real-world challenges in healthcare. Recently, I was honoured with the HSE Design on the Frontline 2025 Scholarship and was runner-up for Logitech Designer of the Year for my final year project, Elithiya, which redesigns the IUD insertion experience with a soft balloon-based insertion device and companion app. I've gained practical experience through R&D roles at Laune Engineering, a UX/UI internship at Feel App, and medical device research projects. My work collaborating with clinicians and patients demonstrates my dedication to applying engineering, design thinking, and user research to create solutions that make a positive impact on people’s lives.
