Dublin, Ireland
Storytelling, exploration, invention, ingenuity, creative voodoo; these are the things that get me excited in life and they are exactly what I strive to bring to every project.

I am dedicated to continually pushing myself to refine and expand my professional skill set. I believe that truly great things can only be achieved through community, teamwork, collaboration, graft and the sharing of knowledge.

I have an equally strong passion for art and physical activities. This passion has taken me from a kid with scrapped knees climbing trees in forests to surfing ten foot swells in the freezing Atlantic to watching the sun rise over Mount Everest at 18,000 feet. Before I could even stand I have constantly sought out new activities and new ways to engage and explore the world. All of this with either a camera or a pencil in my hand.
