Welcome to the design practice of Ciarán Hanrahan.

I first contracted with Cal to design a marketing site and web-app and then joined to help define their product roadmap, lead all design initiatives and build out a design system for a fast growing open source product. Cal recently announced a $25M Series A off the back of a very successful year.

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".
