Summary
Cathal puts a working first version in front of you before most would finish asking questions. As an associate, Cathal is the dependable core of the team: one job at a time, done properly. Best at momentum and turnaround. Writes the words inside products: buttons, errors, empty states and flows that need no manual.
Give Cathal a job like this: “Cathal, rewrite the microcopy for a 6-screen checkout, including all errors and empty states.”
