About me

👋 Hi, I’m Clare Conneally (she/her), the founder of Informed Learning. I’m a librarian from Dublin with over 10 years of experience working in libraries, primarily in higher education. With a background in Philosophy, I try to bring thoughtfulness and curiosity to everything I do.

Informed Learning has allowed me to combine some of what I love to work on most: teaching, design, and events.
