The Care Aware Crew
First aid and life skills resource for primary schools
As one of the project leads for 'The Care Aware Crew' project, I took on a multifaceted role. I created more than 400 unique
hand-drawn illustrations, crafted storyboards, assisted in the design of branded merchandise and contributed to the project's
overall visual identity.
After extensive collaboration with representatives from all partner groups, a set of medically accurate drawings was then approved
for final publication.
One notable challenge I encountered while working on The Care Aware Crew project was tailoring the illustration style to be
age-appropriate for 8-10-year-old primary school children.
As well as working on The Care Aware Crew video lessons at the heart of the programme, I helped compile the accompanying lesson workbooks.
Junior Health Sciences Academy:
"Teachers receive an educational video and activities to carry out with their class. These activities aim to support the pupils' learning and are a mixture of practical-based and knowledge-based activities."
"Phase 2 of the Care Aware Crew pilot begins in February 2023. This year, we have 13 schools from across Limerick and Clare participating"

The Care Aware Crew Project was short-listed for the 2023 Irish Healthcare Centre Awards
Funding for Phase 3 of The Care Aware Crew pilot scheme has been provided by The JP McManus Benevolent Fund.
Flight Link
Website animated banner, campaign material
The main objective of this project was to promote a new Daily Direct Service connecting Killarney to Dublin Airport.
My brief was to create a composite landscape featuring well-known Killarney landmarks.
From the outset, my focus was on colour and shape and selecting landmarks that would sit well in the composite scene.
At all stages of the project, I collaborated closely with the Art Director at Southern Advertising and with the client, Flight Link.
The end result is an animated website banner, along with a suite of bespoke assets for future Fight Link advertising campaigns.
The banner is now featured on Flight Link's website.

Climate Action Campaign
Laois County Council
Laois County Council provided us with ten completed "Together for Climate Action in Laois" videos.
The Council commissioned us to create a series of animated video introductions, to give the series an overall visual identity.
The storyboards and visual assets I compiled provided the motion design team with a clear direction for the animation stage of the project.

This work was part of a bigger proposal to create educational resources about Biodiversity Loss and Sustainable Development

Batty The Bat
"Love Conquers All"
"Batty The Bat: Love Conquers All" is a heartwarming children's book designed for and with Patrickswell National School.
Batty the Bat is an illustrated children's storybook that captures the journey of a non-verbal child as they encounters spoken
and written language for the first time.
My involvement encompassed various aspects of the creative process, including storyboards, layout design, character development, simple animations, scripting and extensive research into all aspects of neurodivergence all with the aim of educating young and older readers.

The Green & White Magazine
Comic Strips, Social Media Campaigns and Brand Identy
Since 2013, I have contributed to The Green and White Magazine, Limerick's premier GAA publication.
The Green and White Magazine made its debut in autumn 1996; since then its mission has been to highlight
Cumann na mBunscol and GAA activities in both Limerick City and County.
Since 2013, my contributions have included the tri-annual 'Jackie & Jill' comic strip, kids' puzzles, editorial illustrations, branded merchandise and bespoke Christmas cards for contributors and clients.
