About Me

Experienced and driven designer with 4+ years experience in delivering experiences spanning web, mobile, and kiosk platforms. Proficiency in research and design, thriving in complexity, design advocacy and education.

I most recently worked at Workday, and co-founded Friends of Figma Dublin. I run a soapery on the side and provide design mentorship and knowledge sharing in my spare time.

I operate on evidence over guesswork, repeatability over luck, and making space for the right voice over the loudest voice. I believe in the power of design to architect safe and equitable spaces for people & enterprises.

What I'm good at

What they say...

Ever since I first met Jamie, I knew he was special. He’s such a refreshment, his energy is absolutely bursting and he brings joy and positive energy everywhere he goes...I’m a huge fan of Jamie’s work, and would always choose to work with him.

― Valentina Antunovic, UX Tree

It's hard to believe what a difference you've made in the short time you've been here. You have been unafraid to step up and take ownership of complex issues. You're a fantastic and respectful partner and collaborator and I really appreciate everything you're doing to make us successful as a team. Thank you!

― Michael Kellmann, Principal UX Designer @ Workday
