Experience

Product Designer

2025 - present

During my current position at Hibernia Venture Labs, I am working alongside the devlopment team to bring products to life for our clients. Being a startup we are heavily embracing AI which has dramtically increased our output and creating better products. By using Claude code we are able to demo prototype in a matter of hours to ensure we are heading in the right direction. My current projects include a healthcare freelancing app and a AI powered blood testing app.

Junior Product Designer

2024 - 2025

During my time at HVL, I took on a range of responsibilities across the product design process. I created detailed design documentation and style guides to ensure smooth handoff to development teams. My work involved conducting user research, usability testing, and competitive analysis to guide design decisions and improve the product’s functionality. I regularly presented design concepts to shareholders and clients, and worked closely with product managers, developers, and stakeholders to translate project requirements into clear, actionable design solutions. One of my key contributions was creating the brand guidelines for FundLife.ai, a revolutionary platform to speed up the fund documentation process.
