Stories of coastal communities finding rest, connection, and authenticity
Developed a cohesive brand framework for Ballycotton's tourism presence. We created visual language that captures the quiet dignity of this sheltered fishing village, helping local businesses communicate their authentic story to visitors seeking genuine coastal rest. The system guides everything from signage to digital content.

Designed a complete visitor experience for the cliff walk, mapping rest points, viewpoints, and pacing for older adults. We created wayfinding that feels natural rather than institutional, and content that shares the landscape's history. Visitor feedback showed 87% felt the walk was "perfectly paced for their needs."
3.2km route • 8 rest benches • Content for 4 languages
Created a detailed guide to Ballycotton's harbour bench stops—those small, overlooked places where locals and visitors find moments of peace. We documented 11 benches, their views, histories, and why they matter. The guide helps retirees discover quiet spots that feel discovered rather than marketed.

Facilitated conversations with long-time residents to capture the real story of Ballycotton. We gathered 12 recorded interviews about daily life, fishing heritage, and why people choose to spend their retirement here. These stories became the foundation for all subsequent communications—authentic voices that no marketing copy could replicate.
