Hi! I’m Carmen, a multidisciplinary designer hailing from Ireland. 🍀

I have over 2 years of professional experience in digital visual design, working across a range of contexts including early-stage startups, accelerators, social enterprises, NGOs, and consultancies. These environments have shaped me into a flexible, collaborative designer, comfortable working across disciplines and translating complex ideas into clear, engaging outputs.

My background began in product and user-centred design, which continues to influence how I approach communication and visual storytelling today. From there, I expanded into branding, UX/UI design, illustration, motion design, and digital content, allowing me to work across platforms and formats. This unconventional path has given me a strong foundation in understanding how people engage with information—whether through products, interfaces, services, or systems.

I am particularly motivated by creating meaningful exchanges around science, data, and complex topics. Whether I’m pitching a product as a product designer, writing a script for a short-form video, or creating social media content, I enjoy shaping narratives that invite understanding, curiosity, and dialogue. I’m interested not just in how something looks, but in how effectively it communicates and connects with its audience.

Much of my work focuses on clarity, accessibility, and human-centred communication, especially when translating technical or research-driven content for broader audiences. I have experience working closely with researchers, analysts, developers, and communications teams to ensure accuracy while crafting content that is engaging, inclusive, and easy to understand.

Across all my projects, I aim to design thoughtful, purposeful experiences that foster connection and inspire positive change. I believe design is a powerful tool for good—and that designers can act as advocates through the products, systems, and communications they help create. With care and intention, I believe we can design our way toward a more meaningful and equitable future.
