Other Experience

Andrew is an architect and designer from West Cork. He graduated with a Master's in Architecture with distinction from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 2018. After working as an architect for several years, he joined an international team of designers and makers at Joseph Walsh Studio in Kinsale, Cork, in 2019. There, he gained a deeper understanding of craft, sculpture, and the importance of materiality in design.

Recently, he moved back to West Cork and established Áitiúil Studio, a multidisciplinary design studio practicing across the mediums of architecture, furniture, jewelry, and most recently, theatre, having just completed his first show (Global Desires) as lead design for Dublin Theatre Festival.
