(established in 2010 in collaboration with Sean Taylor) She has a MA in Ceramics from the National College of Art and Design. Her doctoral research at the Interaction Design Centre (University of Limerick) with Prof Liam L. Bannon, examined the contribution artists and designers make in interdisciplinary co-design projects (2007). More recently in 2021 she completed the ‘Commissioning and Curating Contemporary Public Art’ course at the University of Gothenburg.
