Design Director, Author, Speaker

Welcome to my personal platform—a space where design goes beyond the studio. While my work at SKEEHAN Studio focuses on refined solutions for the A+D sector, this site delves into my explorations: material experimentation, curatorial projects, mentorship, and design education.

Here, I embrace a more speculative approach to design—celebrating the process as much as the outcome. From limited-edition objects to collaborative experiments, this platform highlights the role of play, curiosity, and collaboration in shaping meaningful design.

Explore the ideas, insights, and stories that underpin my design methodology and inspire the next generation of creative thinkers.
