I have a genuine passion for creating visual work that benefits people, the planet and nature. I love to work with value-driven businesses, working ethically and benefitting society.
Accessibility and inclusivity sit at the heart of everything I create, paired with unique, professional design, technical knowledge and genuine care for every project.
““Working with Orla was an absolute pleasure. Her creativity was incredible, coming up with design ideas that we would never have imagined. Throughout the process, she collaborated seamlessly with us - welcoming feedback, iterating quickly and making revisions. She created a complete visual identity on time, on budget and on brief! I'd highly recommend Orla to anyone looking for a designer who is creative, collaborative and professional.”

For people, planet and nature
I love working with value-driven clients who care about how their work impacts people and the world around them.
Animals & nature
A lifelong love of the natural world and animals shapes everything I design.
Accessible design
I'm committed to design that works for everyone. Inclusive, clear and readable for all audiences, while still looking beautifully designed.
Environment
I have a passion for helping the environment and try my best to create work that reflects this, through the design itself as well as the way it is produced.
