Out of all of this website, this has definitely been the hardest part to write, nobody likes talking about themselves but here it goes. Since I was young I was always sketching out clothes, something I was only reminded of by my Dad as I started on this journey, it wasn’t an all-consuming passion but just something I would do now and again when I took a notion. Later in life, I learned that my Grandmother on my Dad’s side was an amazing dress designer and seamstress, I never knew her, but her degree in Dress Design from 1949 now hangs in my office inspiring me every day. 

Growing up in Kerry was amazing, we were close to the sea and had lots of fields to play in. It wasn’t until I was a teenager and thought it was the “middle of nowhere and why did we have to live here”. I wanted to leave the fields and ocean views behind and replace them with city streets and 24 hour shopping.

I lived and worked in Dublin for 7 years. Starting as a personal trainer and slowly moved into a marketing and event position for FMCG products. My time in Dublin was amazing and was everything I hoped for, I had my friends around me, I found my style, my hobbies, and really what made me, me! However as time passed, I realised that maybe Dublin wasn’t for me.. long term anyway.
