Following my work with Icon Design on their retail fixture design website and wider brand materials, I was approached to help shape a new venture focused specifically on museum and exhibition environment design. Through a series of consultancy workshops and strategic conversations, we defined the positioning and ultimately landed on the name Museums by Icon, a natural extension of the parent brand, with its own distinct presence.

Building on Icon’s existing logo, I was tasked with elevating and refining it to suit this new cultural and experiential space. From there, I developed a considered brand system, including colour palettes, typography and a suite of print and digital collateral that balanced heritage, refinement and impactful design. I also designed and built the website, creating a platform that showcases their specialist expertise with confidence. The result is a cohesive, elevated brand that has been extremely well received.

Commissioned by Cova Communications, I developed the brand identity for Making Space, a free arts and science education programme for primary school students in Cork, delivered by Graffiti Theatre Company in partnership with Blackrock Castle Observatory.

The identity was designed to capture the programme's spirit of creativity, curiosity and exploration, creating a visual language that would engage young audiences while reflecting the collaboration between arts and science. My role included designing the logo, developing the overall visual identity and look and feel, and creating an animated version of the logo for use across digital communications.
