My name is Cara, a new graduate with a BA in graphic design and art education. As a designer with a background in education, I pride myself in listening to and learning from the perspectives of others in my practice. I believe empathy is a crucial characteristic for design. My core interests lie in using design for good; as a weapon in creating a sustainable and regenerative world. My graduate project, titled Re-Generation explores the ways in which we can turn to traditional Irish skills and values for inspiration in tackling pressing environmental issues of today. My goals revolve around the development of my practice as a graphic designer, aiming to explore and build on my creative and technical skills through being a part of a design team.
