I’m a writer based in Dublin and a lecturer in the School of Visual Culture at the National College of Art and Design.My debut book, Tokens (Verso, 2023), was longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year and named a best book of 2023 by Wired, The Irish Independent, GQ, and The Los Angeles Times.I write about money, value, and the ways economic life bleeds into intimacy, relationships, and everyday survival. My current book, Disaster Girls, examines how young women navigate precarity as the idea of “the good life” begins to unravel.I contribute regularly to The Irish Times, writing about the economy and social life.
