A GIF a day

The Unbearable Follies of Feeling are small animated drawings about everyday phrases and the things people say online. I’ve drawn one a day since 1 January 2026, and there are more than 300 so far.

Working with me

Hi, I’m Aoife

I’ve been designing for the web since 2012, most recently as Creative Director at Each&Other in Dublin. In 2022 I left agency life to draw full time. Now I do both, from Limerick.
