Adobe Content Circles Dublin

Enjoyable evening at the Adobe Content Circles event this week, as part of Irish Design Week in Twenty Two, South Anne Street in Dublin’s city centre. There was a panel discussion with Jordan Dené Ellis from Adobe Express and Ania Sherlock from Creative Mornings Dublin among other speakers. Software is progressing at a fast pace, with AI tools becoming incorporated in to the design programs to improve functionality and productivity. Designers need to keep informed of the latest developments with events like these to keep up to date with the ever changing digital landscape.

The event was well run, the venue was perfect, food and drinks were supplied, and they gave away some nice extras on the night from Adobe branded notebooks to some free software annual subscriptions for some lucky winners. Dublin is a great city to keep linked in with the vibrant creative community with events like these.

Sow’s Ear Culture Night Art Exhibition

‘Holding Space‘ Sow’s Ear Art Collective: Culture Night 2024 Exhibition

It was great to be part of Holding Space, the inaugural exhibition of The Sow’s Ear Art Collective, which took place as part of Culture Night 2024, Friday, 20th September, at Bayside Community Centre. This special event marked the beginning of an exciting journey for our collective, bringing together a diverse range of artistic voices in a shared creative space.

The exhibition was a celebration of expression, connection, and the power of art to transform and engage. It was incredible to showcase my work alongside such talented artists, each offering a unique perspective that contributed to the rich tapestry of the evening.

A huge thank you to our generous supporters, Hope Beer Dublin and Zaira.ie, for helping make the night a success.

I love being part of this art collective group, it’s great to be around these other inspiring, friendly and supportive creatives and see all the various different types of mediums of art that they create. For those who attended – thank you for being part of this memorable night! And if you missed it, stay tuned for more exhibitions and projects from the Sow’s Ear Art Collective.

Tara Gartlan Chocolate – Brownies Packaging Design

New packaging design of the boxes we designed for Tara Gartlan Chocolate which they will use for shipping their gluten free Brown Butter cakes and Salted Caramel Brownies. These are a new addition to the Tara Gartlan Chocolate range, handmade in Carrickmacross by Michelin star pastry chef, Tara Gartlan.

The beautiful boxes are consistent with the brand style we established when creating the brand packaging design for the bonbons boxes and Easter egg boxes. The brand logo and social media details are showcased prominently to build easy brand recognition and to continue to grow their online audience and social media engagement. The gold-detailed curvy lines take cues from the free-flowing way that chocolate is poured and the natural flowing lines in nature, as many of the ingredients are grown locally, guaranteeing the most fragrant flavours.
