Anolog Records

Logo design for Anthony O'Dwyer of Anolog Records. This design subtly references both the name and function of the company by taking inspiration from the tape reel cogs of an analog recording device.
        Using this visual device as a starting point, I crafted the letter A into an icon for the company. The logo also echoes the tape reel cogs by rotating clockwise in motion graphics executions.

Oriana B

Brand video created to revitalise a rapidly growing furniture retailer brand to reconnect with its core identity and values.
        As Oriana B. experienced swift expansion, the brand's core message and identity became diluted, a common issue faced by many fast-growing businesses. The rapid growth had caused the brand to feel disconnected from its original values and unique personality, making it challenging to maintain a strong connection with its target audience.
        Working with Brand New Creative, I brought theirnew brand world to life through motion.

The Snug Project

On March 15th 2020, with the full force of a global pandemic upon us, the pubs of Ireland were forced to close. Their absence has been felt by many, but none more so than those who rely on pubs for social interaction.
        I collaborated with Stills & Motion to create a case study video for The Snug Project; a calendar and limited edition print sale created to highlight this rising social issue that ran from November 2020 to January 2021. All proceeds from sales were in aid of ALONE, a national organisation that strives to enable older people to age at home, safely and securely, for as long as they wish.
        The project featured 12 images of empty Irish pubs snugs as captured by photographer Finn Richards.

Kerry

During my time as designer at RichardsDee, I was fortunate to be part of the team involved in rebranding the world’s leading Taste and Nutrition company.
        With a group revenue of €7.2 billion and a global workforce of over 22,000 people, Kerry needed to refresh and future proof its global brand strategy and identity to support its business intent and ambition.
