About me

My name is Aoife O'Connell and I am a graphic designer. I have completed a BA Honours in Visual Communications. I have become proficient in design programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign. I'm a proactive self-starter who is willing to make the most out of every situation and opportunity.

I am passionate about creativity, and try to incorporate this in both my design and my life outside of design.

I always like to experiment with new techniques and approaches, in the hope that this will make me a more versatile designer.
