my design sensibility was honed while living in what I call Borrowed Spaces, learning to shape interiors within the constraints of design decisions and material choices that weren’t my own. I found that small, thoughtful rituals, elevated everyday living and grounded me in each space I called ‘home’ an approach that continues to influence my work.

Earlier experience with a German engineered kitchen product deepened my understanding of kitchen design and how its the unseen decisions that shape these spaces long before cabinetry comes into play.

Alongside technical practice my passion for fine art guided me back to complete a BA in fine art, painting. I worked at The San Francisco MOMA before returning to UCD for a Postgraduate in Arts Admin which led me to work at The Green on Red Gallery Dublin, one of Ireland’s most forward-thinking, contemporary art spaces.

This experience underpins the studio’s commitment to championing Irish visual art and designer-makers on each project, to become quiet anchors while adding layers of cultural depth, narrative and lasting purpose within the home. A Diploma in Interior Design finally allowed me join these threads together, the creative, the technical and the emotional to become my medium of expression, and what finally led me to set up my own studio practice to shape spaces of story, beauty and belonging and found tigh design in 2016
