Education

  • University of Limerick
    Product Design & Technology
    2020 - 2025
    This course taught me how to take ideas from concept to reality, always keeping the user in mind. I learned how to research, sketch, and develop products that actually solve problems and provide a good experience for the people using them. I got hands-on with materials, making prototypes, and using design software like CAD. It wasn’t just about how things look but how they work and feel in real life. The course also helped me improve teamwork, project management, and understand the impact of design on both users and the environment.
