A multidisciplinary creative practitioner with a rich and varied career spanning fashion, visual communication, design, and higher education.
I am interested in the connectivity, cross over and broad application of creativity across disciplines and as a catalyst for sustainable, collaborative, and socially engaged practice.
Irish based in Belgium, often working between Dublin, London and Brussels, my constant curiosity fits my shifting locations.

Focus Areas


Fashion & Visual Communication
From design, illustration, styling and photography to creative consultancy, I have always framed fashion not simply as aesthetics, but as a form of cultural storytelling and critical representation.

Creative Resilience & Process Mapping
I research and develop methods for mapping and promoting creative thinking, helping individuals and teams to recognise, articulate, and activate their creative capabilities, particularly within educational and collaborative contexts.

Creative promotion & Collective Practice
Through platforms like dp3.0 studio and Slashstroke, I co-create and curate exhibitions, workshops, immersive events, and interdisciplinary projects that bring together communities, institutions (such as the V&A, Barbican, and RCA), and creatives. These initiatives are grounded in a belief in creative sustainability, supporting both individual development and collective potential through shared authorship, cultural exchange, and long-term engagement.

Lecturing & Pedagogy
Over thre past three decades, I have held teaching and leadership roles across numerous institutions including Middlesex University, KASK, University of Ulster, and others. My educational practice explores critical pedagogy, student-led inquiry, and progressive curriculum design, with a focus on empowering creative thinkers to navigate complex social and cultural landscapes.
