About

Who is Jamie?

I'm a Dublin-based designer and tinkerer. I love the process of design and am a self-professed product nerd.

I'm currently working 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.

What I'm good at

• I connect the dots between departments to holistically understand a problem space. Shared understanding is the most important thing.
• I am an interface design expert, from the 10,000ft view to the 1px details.
• I've led projects, both solo and in teams, from concept to ship, across every stage.
• I'm a high-quality communicator in high-complexity environments.
• I'm a developers dream design partner - I do code-aware collaboration, not over the wall handoffs.
• I design with a business-outcome mindset and can talk the talk with senior stakeholders.

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.

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!
