James Moran
Designer
I am a product designer and engineer focused on creating tangible solutions that have a meaningful, real-world impact on people’s lives. My work blends engineering rigour with thoughtful design, placing strong emphasis on new creative ideas informed by consumer experiences, observation, and feedback. I work across consumer, industrial, and technology-driven projects, supporting ideas from early concept through to prototyping and production. Alongside client work, I develop my own ideas, giving me a practical understanding of commercial realities, sustainability considerations, and long-term product value. Outside of my professional practice, I am passionate about the outdoors and spend much of my time on or near the ocean through watersports. This connection to natural environments strongly informs my personal values around sustainability, learning, and responsible interaction with the world around us.

Nisha Carr
Founder & Lead Educator
Nisha is the four-legged heart of the facility and our unofficial Head of Morale. A four-year-old blue merle collie, she lives on site and takes her role very seriously — especially when it involves people, playtime, or keeping a quiet eye on things. Incredibly intelligent and endlessly friendly, Nisha is always tuned in to what’s going on around her. But make no mistake: if you have a ball in hand, you already have her full attention! Ball, toy, stick (or anything else a human is willing to throw) she’s ready and waiting, tail wagging. Nisha is also a proud mum of five, all of whom have since grown up and headed off to homes of their own. These days, she’s enjoying life at a slightly slower pace, filled with games of catch, familiar faces, and plenty of well-earned affection. Gentle, clever, and always happy to greet visitors, Nisha is a much-loved member of the team — and a daily reminder that every workplace is better with a dog like her around. “Throws appreciated. Hesitation not tolerated.”

WHERE WE'RE BASED
In the West of Ireland
Westport is a world-renowned vacation spot located in the west of Ireland that offers a blend of documented heritage and lively contemporary culture. As a planned Georgian town, its distinctive layout and tree-lined streets are well noted in Irish architectural history. Paired with its quaint but lively atmosphere and Irish culture, if the live traditional music isn’t of interest to you, the scenery will be. Positioned on Clew Bay neighbouring 365 islands and between the beautiful mountain ranges of the west, including Croagh Patrick, named after Saint Patrick — Westport provides easy access to coastal scenery, walking routes, and the Wild Atlantic Way.
Many visitors and locals describe the town centre as vibrant, with independent shops, cafés, and regular cultural activity contributing to its atmosphere. Combined with its walkability and proximity to outdoor recreation, Westport is often seen as a place that balances history, community, and natural beauty.
