Medb McCarthy
Freelance visual
designer

Prior to freelancing, I worked full-time at UX Design Institute. As the very first graphic design hire, I established the design language for social media and produced countless static and motion digital campaigns. I was solely responsible for developing the iconography and illustration style, which is prominent across the course videos, blog and social media. My time at UX Design Institute sparked my interest in UX design and reinforced my commitment to accessible design.

Prior to that, I served as the Head of Creative at MCI Ireland, a prominent event agency in Dublin. In this role, I collaborated with major clients such as Facebook (Meta), PayPal, and Deloitte. My responsibilities were diverse, including creating innovative event concepts, developing pitch decks for client presentations, designing for both small and large-scale print and creating marketing campaigns. Additionally, I managed the creative team and handled in-house creative design.

Since transitioning to freelancing, I've worked on various branding and UI projects. Recently, I've been actively developing my skills in Framer, with a focus on expanding into web building. This portfolio, in fact, was custom-built in Framer, and I'm super proud of it!
