Conor Foran

Artist, designer and educator based in Dublin with ten years of professional experience at the intersection of graphic design, pedagogy and social innovation.

I run a socially engaged design practice called Take Courage with my partner Bart Rzeznik. We design printed matter, develop websites and manage projects for education, care and culture.

As a proud person who stammers, I strive to create and facilitate inclusive learning experiences rooted in belonging. Through founding an independent magazine about stammering called Dysfluent I demonstrate how disability intersects with creativity to instigate social change.
