I'm looking for 2 service/Interaction/strategic designers to join the @HelloMi_lab team to help bring some REALLY exciting #HigherEd projects to life. I've also got some shorter term design and PM positions. Always happy to chat! my.corehr.com/pls/nuimrecrui…

Delighted to have collaborated with @AldoValenciah & Matthew Lievesley on this paper just published in The Design Journal. The research studied Designer-Entrepreneurs from around the world to identify key mindsets & behaviors #designentrepreneurship tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

Next Wednesday @HelloMi_lab @MaynoothUni are hosting an online seminar focused on Design and Higher Education. We have three absolutely brilliant speakers lined up, that I know will provide a fascinating perspective on the future of #HigherEd.

I’m leaving academia. I start my new career in the civil service in Jan. I’ve made the decision because the competitive individualism underpinning academic culture is really quite horrid. A bit sad because I’m letting go of something major but it’s the right choice for me.
