Jack is an industrial designer by training. Having studied Industrial Design at undergrad and Medical Device Design at masters level at NCAD, Jack gained 5 years’ experience in design consultancy for healthcare industry leaders while working with Design Partners in Bray. His specialty in the field is applied human-factors engineering. By understanding what makes products instantly familiar and easy to understand, those insights can be applied to create products with exceptional user experiences.
