I have been exploring how Celtic knots as a design facet shapes the fields of art and design in Ireland and in Irish-America as a singular creative identity. Taking design as a medium for storytelling through my own story and personal narrative.

I take my cultural background as a first generation Irish immigrant in ties to the rich history of the Irish community in this city, and create a modern take on the ancient history and cultural importance of this design element. I build from the rich history and iconic culture of Celtic knots, and truer passion for the pure sake of creating and design in its authentic intention could not be found anywhere else. My identity as an Irish designer inspires a lot of my work to date in branding and visual storytelling.
