I first contracted with Cal.com on a sprint to design a marketing site and web-app. I subsequently joined to help define their product roadmap, lead all design initiatives and build out a design system for a fast growing open source product. Off the back of that, Cal.com raised a $25M Series A and have been growing ever since.

What I appreciated most about Ciarán was his pragmatic approach to designing software. He focuses on simplicity and strips back an interface to only the essential elements. He skillfully used this approach to create an entirely new product for video creators at OneFootball. Upon release, the work was highly praised for its impact and "simple UI/UX".

Ciarán is an expert designer who consistently delivered designs that were user friendly yet matched the cool, modern feel of our brand. He’s got a real knack for working through a tricky design problem, draws on a huge variety of sources for inspiration, and is excellent at talking through designs and explaining his choices. His technical knowledge also meant designs were always dev ready, and he liaised directly with our engineers throughout implementation. If you get an opportunity to work with him, you should take it."
