About me
Thanks for taking the time to explore my portfolio website. I’m Trish, a freelance graphic designer and brand strategist based in Dublin, Ireland. I work across creative direction, brand design, print, digital, typography, and illustration.
My background in graphic design
I studied Graphic Design at IADT, graduating in 2009 with an honours degree. During my final year in college, my work was awarded membership to the ISTD (International Society of Typographic Designers).
After graduating, I worked in advertising for five years. In 2014, I was selected to take part in the renowned ICAD Upstarts programme, before going on to work in several graphic design studios around Dublin.
In 2016, I set up my own freelance design practice, working with Irish and international clients as well as collaborating with Irish graphic design studios. I’m delighted to say I’ve been up to my eyes ever since!
Away from my desk
When I’m not at my desk, I enjoy bouldering, hiking and chess. Climbing and hiking have taken me to some amazing places around the world and I love finding new spots to explore.
In the early 2000s, I was a member of the Irish National Trampoline Team and was selected to compete at the 2003 and 2005 Trampoline World Championships. I’m still able to hold a handstand for one minute. Through my training, I had the opportunity to work as a stunt performer in film and television productions, including Breakfast on Pluto, The Tudors and Fair City.
I also enjoy studying Japanese in my spare time.
