County Dublin, Ireland

In my role as a stylist and creative director, I work closely with brands and their wider creative teams to produce high quality, engaging, unique and eye-catching content. From studio to location, I have styled editorial, commercial, celebrity, lifestyle and social media campaigns. I also regularly present TV slots on behalf of my clients, managing everything from the narrative to the styling and delivery on air.Contributing and creating for TV, Radio, and Print, I have extensive knowledge of Vintage fashion and a specific interest in sustainable style. Clients include Brown Thomas, Kilkenny Shop, Littlewoods, The Zip Yard, Kildare Village, Carousel, Ilac Centre, Home Store and More, Oxfam Vintage, Carousel and BT Shop for Change.A seperate but relevant project that I I am halfway through recording is the second series of my podcast mini-series The Gilded Thread. I speak to various characters from the fashion world and beyond about their lives and learnings as recalled through their style memories from the past number of decades. Guests from Series 1 include Rally Driver, Rosemary Smith; Actor, Model and original Miss Ireland, Olivia Tracey; Model Agent and Fashion Entrepreneur, Cecilia Holman Lee; as well as my own original style icon, My Mama, Ann O'Brien (one of the most popular episodes in Series 1 - honestly, I'm not just biased!)

Proprietor of The Vintage Fair: a Dublin city happening embracing style, fashion, beauty and music.From inception to delivery, I co-created the entire event, designing creative, project managing all elements, traders, contributors and exhibitions, as well as executing on the day.There were many roles involved in this project, each of them vital to the success of the Fair. It brought together my event management skills, styling and MC experience. From sourcing the venue, attracting traders, booking models, designing the talks, facilitating exhibitions, marketing the event and managing the live activity on the day, it was a hugely ambition but ultimately satisfying undertaking from which I gained invaluable knowledge and learnings.

Le Cool Dublin was a design-led, culture guide to the very best of Dublin at any given week.As creative director of the le cool Dublin Experience, I co-created, developed, and executed a much-celebrated 'of the moment' walk of Dublin city. A direct reflection of the weekly publication, we took our small groups to meet the people behind the happenings, learning stories of Dublin, encountering the people and places that make the city tick. The tour gave visitors - tourists and locals alike - an insight into modern Dublin, unearthing the real pulse and getting beyond the guidebooks and well-trodden tourist paths.The 'Experience' became hugely popular and was featured in a number of leading international publications. As interest grew, we adapted our offering for the corporate world, creating bespoke walks for companies, their teams, and their visiting clients.

Contributing live traffic and travel updates for Radio 1, 2FM, Today FM and Lyric FM, I gained invaluable experience in live broadcasting and fast-paced researching. As well as the live updates on the country's commutes, I was often reporting on serious traffic incidents and extreme weather conditions, and so it was essential that we communicated the most up-to-date advice from the traffic departments and Gardai around the country, ensuring that listeners were fully informed on closures, detours, alternative routes, and warnings. As a broadcaster, I needed to adapt my style to the individual station and programme to which I was contributing at any given time.
