One of her largest projects being the Hunting Lodge on the grounds of Castle Leslie, Glaslough, Co. Monaghan.

In addition to her experience and educational background in Interior Design, Siobhán is also a fully qualified Industrial Designer which she finds to be a great asset in terms of broadening her skills as an Interior Designer. “Often as Interior Designers we are called upon to design furniture, lighting, window dressings etc. and it is at this point that my Industrial Design experience kicks in”

In 2006 Siobhán was a finalist in The Student of the Year competition held at the “Our House” show held at Punchestown, details of which can be seen in the Interior Design section of this website.
