About

Hi, I’m Róisín (she/her). I’m currently studying an MA in Sustainable Fashion with focus on systems, community, ‘citizening’ practice & regenerative design. I have a particular interest in natural dyeing and exploring how waste can be creatively reimagined as a resource for non-toxic colours, as well as upcycling post-consumer textiles.

I also do freelance illustration & design work.

︎ Currently open for freelance design & illustration projects. Remotely or in-studio.

I have worked in studios of varying sizes, allowing me the opportunity to experience work flow at different scales and project types. As an illustrator, my background in graphic design, as well as maintaining freelance relationships with studios that I’ve previously worked in, has given me an understanding of the work-flow and requirements of graphic design, allowing me to work efficiently with designers to meet their needs.

I’m particularly passionate about working with independent and small businesses, as well as organisations with a focus on social or environmental causes.
