About Me

Born on a small island floating in the North Atlantic more commonly known as Ireland, in the greatest city in the world more commonly known as Cork, I’m an award-winning graphic designer with shedloads of real world experience. In-house, freelancing, and at an agency, I’ve been there and done it.

Passionate about good design, I believe in data-driven, results-based work. My job is to deliver effective communication ahead of just following the latest trends – cutting edge is fantastic, but not at the expense of a project not actually doing what it was created to do.

When not working, I spend what little free time remains enjoying my fantastic family, cooking, (they sort of demand it now), playing copious amounts of soccer when my knees allow, pretending to be a spaceman in the Elite Dangerous universe, and cheering on Munster and Ireland in the rugby.

After spending several years in the USA, I returned home to Ireland with my wife, daughter, and mildly sociopathic dog, and am now based in the town of Midleton in Cork.

Don’t just take my word for it!

Look, I like to think I’m fairly decent, but here’s what some of the people I’ve worked for and with say about me…

His designs are superb, modern, and very clean. Gary easily encapsulates the look and feel his clients are after. Easy to work with and willingly goes above and beyond.

Justin Draeger

President & CEO, NASFAA

Gary was the keystone of putting together the branding and visual representation of our association, managing a massive design portfolio at our company including promotions, printed materials, presentations, graphics, logos, and much more. I learned so much from Gary and really enjoyed working with him.

Laura Aberant

Director of Marketing, NASFAA

Whenever I need creative help, Gary is my first and only call. We have worked together on numerous enterprises, and he never fails to deliver work and results that exceed my expectations. Not only is he a talented and experienced designer, but also offers keen insight into marketing opportunities that I didn’t even think about. He’s great!

Richard Villegas

President, ViBo Global

Countless times I approached him with a topic that was anything but exciting, and he’d somehow come up with designs that not only perfectly fit the concept but also motivated people to actually read and understand the publication.

Linda Conard

President, LMC Communications Ltd. (Formerly of NASFAA)

In all the time I’ve worked with Gary I’ve always found him incredibly easy to work with. He grasps what mere mortals are trying to explain very easily and gets it down to pixels quickly and easily.

Adam Beecher

Managing Director, Beecher Networks

Gary is a pleasure to work with. His sharp wit and listening skills complement his technical expertise and creativity. He not only went to great lengths to understand my needs, but went further to explore the needs of my own clients, and gave me valuable insight into how I should market and position myself going forward.
