Conor Foran

I’m an Irish artist, designer and educator based in Dublin.

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.

I’m also a proud person who stammers. Through my creative practice Dysfluent I explore how disability intersects with creativity and how art and design can instigate social change.
