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.
Lovely to see Joyof Foods in action in SuperValu Blanchardstown. Eniola Salami is flying it with her new brand and range of West African cuisine – unique to the market. Her enthusiasm and drive is unstoppable!
Great to visit Paris Packaging Week 2025 recently.
There was so much inspiration with beautiful work and the process to creating it showcased, along with interesting topics discussed, such as sustainability in packaging design, exploring new materials such as paper bottles for drinks, adapting to change – such as a world where AI is impacting everything and what it’s role is in the design industry, the key to building strong brands, current packaging design trends, thinking big and thinking differently with brand strategy and innovation, and how to work effectively to be most creative and productive, whilst maintaining a healthy work to life balance and staying creatively inspired.
It was great to attend the new design event, BOUNCE, run by the IDI (Irish Design Network). The event ran over January 9th – 10th 2025, at Trinity College Dublin. This two-day event, crafted by the design community for the community, offered fresh, critical perspectives on the design process, giving designers a unique opportunity to explore, engage, and be inspired.
Since the previously run Dublin-based design festival Offset ceased – creatives have missed design conferences like this, as an opportunity to network and stay inspired with the latest projects happening in all areas of design worldwide, so this was a great step towards a positive resurgence of design inspiration and events in Dublin.
Thanks to the Favourite Design blog for the feature of our Brand Packaging Design project for The Tasting Vault Whiskey Tasting Subscription Services on their website, Instagram and Facebook pages.

Great to attend the recent Dublin design event Luvin Letters In Design – for Typography & Lettering lovers, which ran over the 4th and 5th October in the Complex Arts Centre, Dublin 1.
There was an inspiring line up of speakers and some live mural painting with artists Theosone (Berlin), Milen Balbuzanov (Bulgaria), Horhay Design (Spain) and Calligrafreaks (Berlin).
Here’s to more of these design events returning to the Dublin design scene!
We are loving how well the brand packaging design of the Katie’s Kombucha range translated from the original glass bottles to these lovely slim cans. They are now available in both the bottles and cans in three tasty flavours.
It’s great to see the book Hello Hinterland featured as part of Dublin Art Book Fair 2023: Polyphonic curated by Wendy Erskine.

A brilliant initiative and amazing opportunity aimed to connect innovative Transition Year students with mentors in the design industry on their creative thinking.
The Big Idea is a practically-oriented creative programme which empowers students to use their creativity and design thinking to develop a B!G Idea solution to tackle society’s biggest challenges.
It aims to foster creativity and innovation within the Irish education system so that current students can develop the tools to think outside the box. It shows the importance of design in schools. Exciting to see the ideas the students are coming up with and help them develop their Big Ideas!
Delighted to win a Gold Award in the Muse Design Awards 2022 for the Packaging Design of the oat drink range, ‘Oat in the City’.
I also received Silver Design Awards for several other Brand Packaging Design projects, including Katie’s Kombucha, A Good Mood Food and Saltrock Dairy. Great to see my client’s branding being recognised.
