My name is Conor Merriman and I am a Dublin-based freelance art director, graphic designer and illustrator with a BA in Visual Communication from NCAD.  

I specialise in collaborative and creative problem-solving. Working over many disciplines such as illustration, brand identity design, print and digital campaigns along with packaging design, visual marketing and consumer goods – I have worked with clients such as; Walt Disney Studios, Louis Vuitton, Playstation, Diet Coke, Guinness, 20th Century Studios, Warner Bros, Samsung, Microsoft, H&M, BBC Sounds, Element Pictures, Brown Thomas and Arnotts to name a few.

I have lectured and hosted illustration workshops at The National Gallery of Ireland, Ballyfermot College of Further Education (BCFE) and NCAD along with being the 2022 keynote speaker on anti-bullying for The Law Society of Ireland.

I have helped create successful brand identities for two Michelin Starred restaurants; Liath and Chapter One by Mickael Viljanen, along with Poachers Premium Irish Mixers, BYSK makeup, Light House and Pálás Cinemas, and Winelab. I also have a greeting card range with Moonpig that was commissioned for their Irish launch.

I love illustrating and designing and look forward to what the next project may be!
