I'm a product person that cares deeply about users, but I also know that the business has to keep moving to continue solving their problems. The best design serves both.
Messy, system-wide problems are the ones I enjoy most, though I'm just as happy slowing down to obsess over the small details that bring a product to life.
I make sure every voice in the room is heard, and I welcome a healthy disagreement. I believe in 'strong ideas, loosely held'. When a whole team shares that mindset, passionate but open-minded discussion tends to produce the best ideas.
Outside of work, you'll find me travelling, playing sport, or eating popcorn at the cinema.

“Seán is an exceptional product designer who is thoughtful, pragmatic, and clever. He takes feedback like a champ, cares about UX, and is able to get up to speed with technical conversations that could spin your head around.”
“Seán is a natural leader who cares deeply about the people he works with, our users and our customers. When I moved to CYGNVS, he was the first person I wanted to bring with me and I'm glad I did because his influence on the product was invaluable.”
“Sean brought a level of technical understanding to his work that regularly impressed me. He took the effort to fully understand the engineering work behind each feature, and this enabled him to design state of the art abstractions that could distill a complex architecture into a clean user interface.
Sean also has a passion for everything he does that is genuinely infectious. This trait no doubt spills into his work as well, and has led to some great debates in our time working together. He added a healthy amount of friction to our team that resulted in all of us reaching for higher standards, and making decisions we could stand by. The product would not have been the same without Sean's technical and creative input.”
