Colm O’Connor is a brand builder and graphic designer based in Wexford, Ireland.
I specialise in creating and developing clear, elegant visual identities across brand, packaging, and web, for a diverse range of local and international clients. I design for print, digital, publications, environments, and more.
I love what we do and truly believe in the transformative power of design. I work closely with my clients to create beautifully crafted visual identities, engaging websites, and unique illustrations. I focus on building strong relationships, achieving and exceeding clients' goals and expectations, and taking care of every aspect of the design process with passion and detail.
I’m a graduate of Waterford IT, where I studied and completed a BA(Hons) Degree in Design (Visual Communications). Upon graduating with a First-Class Honours I was awarded a 9-month internship with TrueOutput:, an international award-winning design consultancy based in Waterford, Ireland.
I was with TrueOutput for 5.5 years, quickly rising from intern to lead designer. For the first few years, it was only myself and John so I had the opportunity to soak up any knowledge that was available. It was a small office so we worked closely on projects large and small, and over the course of that time won numerous awards, both national and international (IDI Awards, Webby Award, 100Archive selection) we also had a number of logos featured in the Counter-Print publication Art Marks.
Over that time I continued to take on freelance work outside of office hours and I was fortunate enough to have my own double-page feature in IDN Magazine, an international design magazine, based off of personal work.
Colm O'Connor Studio was a full-time graphic design and branding studio from 2019 - 2022.
Currently Brand/Design Manager at Scurri.
