Ciara joined Claridge Architects in early 2024 after receiving her first-class honours degree from the School of Architecture University of Limerick (SAUL). Prior to this role, Ciara spent some time working at A2 Architects, engaging in diverse projects ranging from feasibility studies to planning applications and competitions across residential and public sectors. She has also gained valuable experience working as an invigilator at Ireland’s national pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023.

Her final year thesis project addresses a way to reduce health inequalities that exist within Limerick City, Ireland. The proposal aims to foster a healthier urban environment by emphasising the value of public space and promoting civic interaction. This commitment to enhancing the well-being of users continues to drive Ciara’s approach to design.
