Interests

An extremely small collection/attempt at a current top 3 (whoops 4):

Ireland

Itā€™s what got me my job with Enterprise Ireland. A true obsessive admiration for the creative people and places of Ireland. Hereā€™s some of my fave Irish brands and designers: Aisling Kavanagh, Pestle & Mortar, Foxford, Inner Island. And hereā€™s some of my fave tech companies: tines, Wayflyer, Vaultree, Akeero. And hereā€™s my Ireland Guide :)

Circular Economy

It was when we were driving through home and mum mentioned, ā€˜thatā€™s where we used to get the TV fixedā€™ and I just wondered what the heck happened. When did we stop looking after things, when did we stop getting things fixed? My big area of research at the moment is textile recycling and wow itā€™s juicy - Iā€™m only tipping the iceberg but I look forward to seeing where it goes. Iā€™ve had the pleasure of visiting many mills throughout Ireland, understanding their focus and challenges with sustainability solutions. Iā€™m focusing on building my own capsule wardrobe to understand circular challenges/repairing/recycling on a minor scale.

Canoeing

I knocked out my two adult front teeth in a canoe accident at 12 and I couldnā€™t step foot in the water comfortably after this. Growing up in Northern Ireland in an area with extensively beautiful lakelands (Fermanagh Lakelands) made me eternally sad about what felt like an irrational fear šŸ„². So I joined Scouts and it finally hit me, TAKE CONTROL. So I became an instructor, felt under control in my canoe and have enjoyed every minute ever since, having gone on expeditions in Ireland and Canada (and now planning across Europe - any tips, my Twitter DMs are open!). I love being on the water because I think beauty can really overpower fear and nature is simply just, sheer beauty. My favourite moment is the blissful peace and quiet in the middle of the lake where the light twinkles off the water.
