I'm a 31-year-old Irish-Canadian creative who has lived in five countries and spent the last four years building a clothing brand from an apartment in Kobe, Japan, while teaching English full time.

I grew up playing rugby in Canada, a little in AU/NZ. I play basketball. I have a degree in economics, a background in DJing and house music, and a genuine obsession with cinema: PTA, Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, Kubrick. I read widely and internationally.

I built rún because no brand existed for people like me: athletes who create, artists who train, people who refuse to fit in one box. Everything in this portfolio came from that same instinct.

I’m currently available for hire, contact me below.
