Education & Competitions
My educational journey has been shaped by a strong foundation in creativity, innovation, and problem-solving.
I completed my Leaving Certificate in 2018, where I developed a solid academic base. Following that I earned a Bachelor of Science in Product Design in 2022 after completing a four-year degree program. This experience not only deepened my creative talents but also fueled my passion for designing solutions that blend functionality with user-focused aesthetics.

My academic achievements reflect my dedication to learning and my commitment to personal and professional growth.
BCs in Product Design
After completing my Leaving Certificate, I pursued a degree in Product Design at TU Dublin, where I spent four years honing my skills in design, innovation, and problem-solving. During my time there, I gained a deep understanding of user-centered design principles and the end-to-end process of bringing ideas to life. I graduated with a Second Class Honours, First Division, which reflects my dedication and strong performance throughout the program.
​
My main focus for my final year and thesis was medical devices, a field I found incredibly rewarding and inspiring.
