My name is Tiernan Dowd; I am a young product designer form from the green fields of Ireland. I am curious and like to explore my surroundings to make sense of it all.  This inquisitive nature has driven me to explore. I traveled all over the world, from Shanghai to New York. Through my travels and experiences, I have learned to be a patient, and empathic, and better understanding of different cultures. Design is about communicating your solutions, so understanding and listening to others is a great way to better solve the problem

My interest in design stems back to my first Lego set. I was intrigued by how simple pieces of plastic could give rise to an endless number of adventures. As I grew older, my desire to understand the inner workings of my surroundings only deepened. None were safe from being disassembled and reassembled, whether a toy, a computer mouse, or my dad’s toolkit. I continue to challenge myself in new activities and learn from them.
