Public Design
Bigger (and smaller) design work for the public realm
↓ Examples: Educate Together, RDS, Wicklow County Council &c.
Signs, exhibitions, direction & wayfinding.
These pieces aren't really a single category per se, but it made sense to collect a few representative pieces on this page.
The purposes of the pieces below vary. Some are branding or information exercises, others are to transform the purpose of a space, while yet others are to assist users & visitors.
A Worthy Cause designed, illustrated and project managed a collaborative project in Arklow Public Library. Combining the work of a team of local historians, a sign-painter and signage makers, alongside illustration we built a permanent display and created a guided walk.

An intentionally confusing map, designed to make visitors to an exhibition wander
Another exhibition map - in opposition to the above, very exact, pinpointing student artists' pieces within a large open space
