International Design Award Winner 2019

International Design Award Winner 2019

Just arrived back from an amazing trip to the sunny Los Angeles for the International Design Awards ceremony in the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood! It was brilliant to be recognised among such a talented and creative group of international designers.

The IDA awards celebrate and promote creative talent and expertise in graphic design and other areas such as architecture, fashion and product design.

I received an Honourable Mention Award in the IDA Awards for the brand identity and design of Origin Chain Brand Identity, a blockchain software solutions providing users with reliable proof-of-origin services and another award for the brand identity for Brid Kehoe Coaching, a life coach practice helping guide people towards meeting their goals.

The ceremony was very exciting, with a cocktail reception beforehand, where there was a lot of mingling of creatives in the beautiful Pacific Design Centre.

Offset Dublin 2019

Offset Dublin 2019

Another great year kicked off at Offset Dublin this year with some brilliant and inspiring speakers!

The highlight for me was the work of talented Cuban-American illustrator Edel Rodriguez. His work highlights the challenges America are facing with their current president Trump, in a humorous and often simple manner which hits the nail on the head in communicating it’s message.

I also found Dublin photographer Richard Gilligan’s work and the story of his journey to success very inspiring. He followed his passion which lead him to his current success, by mixing his two loves – skateboarding and photography; capturing his subjects in skateparks around the world to create unique results.

Other highlights were Steve Simpson’s beautiful illustrative packaging work and Anna Ginsburg’s illustrative films which challenge feminist subject matter – she is a very confident, bubbly speaker and kept everyone hooked on what she had to say.

This year the event was held at the Point Village, which didn’t quite live up to the previous venue of the Grand Canal Theatre, but hopefully it will be moved back there next year.

All in all, it was a great top up of inspiration from the international design leaders speaking and as always, it was enjoyable meeting and exchanging ideas with fellow creatives.
