My design concept for the Deaf Hub in Cork was very much influenced by the needs and culture of the end user, while at the same time respecting the heritage of the mid nineteenth century former warehouse. I was inspired by the work of Hansel Bauman and the DeafSpace design principals. As a designer, it is my dream to breathe creativity into the environments that I design. I hope to promote design that reflects the unique qualities of human nature. I strive to design spaces that put human behaviour and experience at the centre of the creative process, where emotions become part of the function with designs that also respect our heritage.
Deaf Hub: Formerly a professional musician, I returned to education in 2016 to pursue my passion for interior design and architecture. I have enjoyed the journey from domestic to commercial design, with every new project presenting distinct opportunities for learning.
