About

Fiona joined us from Accenture’s innovation hub, The Dock, where she was a visual designer. She is a global leader in in-person and online design education, drawing on many years of experience as both a designer and a lecturer in design at the Dublin Institute of Design and Shillington Education in London. She holds a BA in Visual Communication from IADT Dún Laoghaire and an MA in Design Research from NCAD.

Why I joined the UCD Innovation Academy…

“The energy and passion of the multidisciplinary team to create a unique, world-class student experience are so inspiring that I had to jump at the chance to get involved. I am continuously inspired by the stories of our students and the wealth of experience of our team on a daily basis, there is no place quite like it.”
