About
I’m an interaction designer passionate about emerging technology and human-centred design. I’m driven by the space where technology and humanity meet,exploring what technology can do beyond our own capabilities while using it to create meaningful experiences for communities and cities. At the same time, I believe great design is deeply human: it’s about connection, empathy, and embracing the complexity of people’severyday lives.
Ireland has one of the most ecologically degraded landscapes in Europe, yet this decline is largely invisible in everyday life. Domestic Soundscapes makes biodiversity perceptible through sound. A solar-powered bioacoustic monitoring system captures the soundscape of domestic gardens and translates acoustic complexity into a daily biodiversity score. Residents can track change through a living dashboard and take simple seasonal actions, such as planting native species, leaving grass long, and creating habitat, that influence what the system hears over time. As data from individual gardens accumulates, it reveals how biodiversity changes across a neighbourhood and how collective action can influence what is heard
