Blending marketing, visual design, and qualitative research into a unique, human-centered perspective.
Well, Howdy.
I’m Conor, a designer and marketer with a background in the social sciences.
I hold a deep appreciation for the capacity of human-centered design to drive innovative solutions. Throughout my career, I have worked to connect brands’ messaging with their customers needs through an empathetic, open-minded approach. This lens allows me to quickly adapt to the subject at hand, having worked in fields including 3D Printing, Quantum Computing, Business Solutions, K-12 Education, and FinTech. I am currently exploring new opportunities for freelance and full-time work. Let’s talk!
Some recent projects
As a self-taught… everything, I constantly strive for personal improvement. Each project is an opportunity to further build my skillset and breadth of knowledge. While I enjoy the speed and creative flexibility of solo work, it is through in-depth collaboration that I find the greatest opportunities for learning and growth. Zooming out to a strategic view, then back in on the details to create beautiful, resulted-oriented solutions is a deeply fulfilling experience.
Continue for some of my favorite recent projects across web design, marketing, and UX.
Brooklyn Rugby Club
Web & Brand Development
Worked with club leadership to integrate previously separate Brooklyn Men’s Rugby & Brooklyn Hyenas web presence and provide a repository for club news. Developed a single streamlined site to convey the inviting and supportive nature of the club while offering a visually pleasing, fast-loading browsing experience. Additionally, created new branded templates for social media, offering aesthetic consistency for updates throughout the season.
The site now ranks top 5 in all pre-established SERP terms, including “Rugby NYC”.
LoanStreet
Product Marketing Manager
Started as the first dedicated marketing hire, growing to a three-man team over time. Built out and grew key marketing functions from webinars and sales materials to a full website redesign, multi-touch PPC campaigns, whitepapers, affiliate marketing, and product demo videos.
Spearheaded a 2024 brand expansion campaign to better distinguish their four products as distinct, standalone financial solutions for credit unions.
HausChef
User Experience, Branding & Visual Design
For General Assembly’s full-time UX Design bootcamp, I developed HausChef, a culinary app designed to help home cooks find recipes, build better kitchen habits, and waste less food. This is accomplished through increasingly personalized recommendations based on user behavior and preferences, which enhance the experience over time.
The project was built off the idea that good meals can be easy, affordable, and use existing ingredients. Application development is currently in progress, but a prototype is available:
About Conor
Hey there, Conor here. I’m a marketing professional based out of Brooklyn, New York. I got my humble start in marketing through an internship while completing my degree in Anthropology. Since then, I’ve worked to marry my passion for culture and human experiences with my love of good design and technology.
While I haven’t followed the most traditional path into this industry, I’ve loved learning the ins and outs along the way. The challenges I’ve faced have inspired me to never stop learning. Now I’m looking for new full-time or freelance opportunities!
Photography
Personal Portfolio
Photography has been one of my preferred creative outlets for over a decade, having taught me the many ways that our perspective shapes what we see. From landscapes and architecture to slice-of-life images, I aim to capture moments that make us question what else we’ve missed when we weren’t looking.
