I have been a designer for quite a few years and I love what I do. I get to work with clients to bring their ideas to fruition in a visual and engaging way.
I am always curious. I’m really interested in how people interact and understand communications and the impact that has on a brand.
I have worked in a number of brand agencies with some fantastic people and I’ve gained invaluable experience in each of them. The high standards of quality, service and critical thinking is something I carry through all of my work.
The brief is everything. It is the starting point so I do ask questions and I challenge that brief before I begin any project. I like to understand my client's business, the demands that face them in their market and the passion that drives them. I think this interaction is essential as it adds clarity for everyone and leads to a better design solution overall.
I like to make the complex simple and get to the heart of the challenge for my clients. Bringing ideas to reality in a visually engaging way is always my objective.
My projects range from brand identity and brand architecture to complete identity implementation and guidelines, customer experience and consulting.

“Marie displayed her unwavering project management, design, strategy, marketing and branding skills, from start to finish. Marie's attention to detail, design expertise and deep rooted understanding of the core foundations of marketing and brand design were what got us to our valued and long-standing project outcome - Our new Brand Identity. Marie never missed a beat in terms of project deadlines and was available as a sounding board throughout the project and the months that followed.

“When undertaking a major change initiative at Aer Lingus involving the launch of new service standards, staff communications and wider engagement activities, Marie provided invaluable support through the creation of a host of design elements and collateral. Her ability to build a design theme that was vibrant and engaging was key to staff perceiving the initiative as professional and credible. It was an absolute pleasure working with her over the 18-month journey of this exciting project.”
