Crona O’Donoghue

As a graphic designer, curator, community engagement specialist and educator, problem solving, communication and user-centered design have been central to Cróna’s career. These skills and her comprehensive experience have helped in devising, with her colleague Dr Tena Patten, a bespoke Design Thinking process called UNIQUE – Understand, Needs, Ideas, Quick prototyping, User testing and Evaluate. They have also developed a workbook and educational programme DICE Academy (a strand of DICE Labs) that encourages creativity and entrepreneurship with 100+ secondary school students each year.

Cróna taught on the BA (Hons) Interior and Spatial Design at Chelsea School of Art & Design (UAL) and the MA in Narrative Environments, Central Saint Martins (UAL) before returning to her native Donegal to commence her roles at ATU and design firm OD Design.

As a practicing designer he works closely with new and existing businesses on innovative processes for new product and service development. He has recently studied Design Thinking at MIT and is currently experimenting and facilitating innovation teams in the Metaverse. If you need to find him, he will most likely be coaching Newbridge U15s, playing 5 a side DanderBall with the lads or trying (still) to improve his snooker game!
