Before coming to Toronto to pursue my dream of becoming a designer, I studied Communications in Creative Multimedia at Dundalk Institute of Technology (Ireland) and earned a Bachelor of Arts. world. I love seeing a project develop from concept to execution, especially when I can add my own colour and sparkle to it. Before coming to Toronto to pursue my dream of becoming a graphic designer, I studied Communications in Creative Multimedia at Dundalk Institute of Technology (in Ireland) and earned a Bachelor of Arts.
