Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Product Design Innovation

I run Horizon Consultants, a boutique consulting and coaching business for founders, operators, and small teams.

I help ambitious business owners gain clarity, simplify execution, and build momentum. Through a mix of strategic consulting and hands-on coaching, I support clients across growth strategy, operations, and personal performance.

Clients come to me when they’re scaling, stuck, or at a crossroads. Together, we cut through the noise and build systems that work.

Key Work:
• Strategy sprints
• Founder coaching (1:1 & async)
• Operating plans & org clarity
• GTM planning for new offers

This is the core services business. For my digital tools for solo founders, see Horizon Ventures.

Founder & Strategy Consultant 

At Boxclever, I worked on end-to-end product development, designing functional and commercially successful products for clients in Ireland and internationally. From initial research to final production, I was involved in turning ideas into market-ready solutions.

My focus was on user-centered design, industrial engineering, and design for manufacture, ensuring products not only looked great but also worked seamlessly in real-world applications. I collaborated closely with suppliers, engineers, and business leaders to align design intent with strategic goals.

This experience reinforced my ability to translate vision into execution, a skill I now apply in business strategy, product innovation, and leadership development.

Key Areas of Expertise:
	•	Product Development & Innovation
	•	Design Thinking & User-Centered Design
	•	Supplier Sourcing & Manufacturing
	•	Project Management & Strategic Execution

Industrial Designer

As a Growth Lead, I helped high-revenue organizations ($100M+) develop strategic innovation frameworks, optimize business operations, and create measurable impact. My role combined consulting, strategy, and hands-on execution to drive transformative growth.

I worked closely with executives to:
	•	Set clear strategic visions for innovation and business transformation
	•	Navigate ambiguity and build sustainable, scalable solutions
	•	Implement experimental methodologies to solve complex business challenges

Growth Lead

In this role, I drove high-impact innovation initiatives, helping Fortune 500 clients identify opportunities, develop prototypes, and scale solutions that bridged strategy and execution. I led multidisciplinary teams through the end-to-end innovation process—from research and ideation to validation and implementation.

Key Contributions:

Designed and delivered user-centered innovation strategies that helped organizations navigate complexity and drive measurable impact.
Led cross-functional teams in prototyping, rapid iteration, and scaling of business solutions.
Applied design thinking, systems thinking, and emerging methodologies to develop strategies for sustainable growth.
Partnered with stakeholders, executives, and R&D teams to align innovation efforts with long-term business goals.

This role built on my foundation as an Innovation Consultant and further strengthened my ability to translate insights into scalable business solutions.

Innovation Strategy Lead 

Located in Dublin’s tech quarter, The Dock is Accenture’s flagship R&D and Global Innovation Center.

In this role, I led innovation projects from concept to execution, collaborating with clients and ecosystem partners to develop cutting-edge solutions. My work spanned research, ideation, and prototyping, leveraging design thinking, quantitative and qualitative insights, and emerging methodologies to create impactful, user-centered innovations.

Innovation Consultant

Horizon Ventures is where I build tools that help solo founders stay focused, execute better, and grow without chaos.

It’s my solo venture studio for experiments that scale:

Founder Focus – A low-friction weekly reset tool that helps solo founders zoom out and stay on track. No calls. No dashboards. Just 1 async check-in per week.

Other tools in development

The goal? Build leverage through simple, useful products that reduce noise and increase momentum for high-agency builders.
