Thanks to the Favourite Design blog for the feature of our Brand Packaging Design project for Blarney Bees Irish honey on their website, Instagram and Facebook pages.

Blarney Bees Honey Products create traditional and modern Irish honey infusions, using 100% Pure Raw Irish Honey, crafted by their Irish honeybees in Blarney, Co. Cork. The small-batch production method guarantees a distinctive flavour for each batch, while preserving the aroma, texture, and taste of raw Irish blossom honey.

Fingal Food Circle Event

Great to see the Fingal Food Circle brand we designed in action at the Flavours of Fingal Festival yesterday, and to meet the team in person. This new network celebrates food and drink producers, chefs, restaurants and food experiences across North County Dublin. They had an impressive set up and presence at the festival, with food journalist Dee Laffan hosting ‘Meet the Maker’ talks with many food and drink producers, including Wim from Hope Beer Dublin discussing his Packaging Design and an interactive cooking demonstration with Irish celebrity chef and television personality, Kevin Dundon, of Dunbrody House.

It was also a pleasure to see Tim McGlynn & his lovely wife Brigid from Dublin Hills Goats Cheese with their products and Brand Packaging we designed still going strong!

Art Exhibitions 2025

I love to visit art and design exhibitions to stay creatively inspired. It’s always exciting to see how there are so many different styles of art and every artist is unique and brilliant in their own way. Below are some exhibitions I’ve visited over the past few months. I enjoy painting and drawing myself, so seeing these artworks motivates and inspires me to what is possible to achieve. It also often inspires my design work. I find keeping active in creative interests and outlets outside of graphic design fuels and enhances my design work.

  1. Stoneybatter Arts Festival Exhibition at the Belfry
Carolyn Walsh Art
Sour Sherbet Art
Marie Le Man

This exhibition is part of the #StoneybatterFestival25 featuring beautiful work from artists such as Carolyn Walsh Art, Liv at Sour Sherbet and Marie Le Men, to name a few.

Rasher aka R. M. Kavanagh’s art exhibition ‘Don’t Anger the Gods’ showcased at FLUX, Dublin 2, in May 2025. His emotionally-charged figurative oil paintings focus on the human condition, blending abstraction, realism, and surrealism to create this unusual and uniquely thought-provoking style in this recent body of work.
