Patrick Browne Design

Self-employed Graphic / Web / UI-UX designer

Nov 2013 - Jan 2023

Key achievements:
Identified, and then fixed a significant UI/UX flaw in a third-party website plugin for recruiting agency software known as Bullhorn. When integrated, the plugin allows job advertisements to be featured online, but had serious display issues when viewed on mobile devices. www.dillones.ie

Approached by ShinAwil Productions to design and produce the website for their new venture Video As A Service. They wanted a contemporary, design-lead product with an emphasis on their corporate colours. www.vaas.video

Commissioned by Sealac Ltd to produce packaging for an organic, seaweed-based livestock supplement. Existing products tended to be quite design-poor, so the approach was to create bright, brand-led labelling reminiscent of modern pet food packaging. Resulting sales and popularity of the product led to the creation of a full suite of merchandise with accompanying complimentary packaging. www.sealac.ie
