I’m a Product Designer based in the UK. Driven by my intrigue in people, culture and sustainability, I have sought to lead a diverse practice throughout my career to date.
Having applied design to a variety of contexts and environments, I am inspired by the tangible value that design can add to the relationships between people, brands, products and services. In particular, I find solving problems that address data and behaviour infinitely rewarding.
I currently work as a Lead Designer at Infogrid; an IOT startup that combines sensor data with AI to make buildings smarter and more sustainable. Before this I worked at Signal Noise (part of The Economist Group), Frog (UK), Wieden+Kennedy and Applied Wayfinding among others. My time in these studios enabled me to create user centered digital products to drive digital transformation, innovative brand communications and identities, wayfinding systems for cities and national institutions, and new ways of working in a large agency setting.
My personal work has been invaluable in finding my voice and graphic style throughout my career, particularly in the area of typographic design. It has also received numerous graphic design awards.
Recommendations
Ronan is a highly skilled lead product designer with a strong and evident passion for product. His deep domain expertise at Infogrid meant we could place all new starters under his leadership and know they would be up and running in no time. He did the extensive work that ensured that he was a subject matter expert and worked seamlessly alongside our product managers to ensure our CX was optimized in an incredibly nascent market - meaning our customers were guided seamlessly to the data points that were meaningful for them. Ronan was a highly valued member of our product leadership team and I personally enjoyed working with him and would hire him again in a heartbeat!
