About Richard
Sustained by my love for football, travel, animals and a good cup of tea.
About
I’m a multidisciplinary product designer and builder from Limerick, Ireland. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work closely across varied verticals, taking 0-to-1 products off the ground at Miro in Amsterdam, defining product vision for finance tools at Cashbook, and building large-scale design systems and developer tools at SAP. I design because it sits at the intersection of what I enjoy the most: technology, business, and craft.
I love experiencing new places and cultures. I’ve visited 18 countries so far and I’m always planning the next trip.
I’ve played football my whole life. Mix of casual games to more competitively on the weekends.
I’m happiest spending time with animals, especially our two dogs back home in Ireland, Eddie and Jessie.
A good book and a cup of tea is my favourite way to switch off, here are two books I’m reading right now.
Spotify is always on in the background, here are two albums I enjoyed over the last year.
