There are 55,000 Murphys in Ireland. I’m not just another Murphy.
Working across 8 countries teaches you a thing or two.
I’ve developed a deep understanding of communication, cultural exchange, and creative problem-solving, especially in tricky situations. I love creating thoughtful, impactful design. As a multi-disciplinary designer, if I don’t know how to do something, I’ll figure it out. I’m grateful to love what I do, and I aim to use design as a tool for change, to make a positive impact, no matter how small.
