Hello, I’m Donal and I help CEO’s and product teams to design and deliver simple, sophisticated software. I have brought many enterprise products to market with the help of wonderful people and new technologies in consultancies, startups and tech organisations.

I practice a pragmatic product design process influenced by human centred design and agile methodology which helps to focus teams on solving relevant problems.
