The Kevin Doherty Scholarship to Support Digital Creativity

Kevin Doherty was a true visionary in the world of design and creativity. For nearly two decades, Kevin graced every project with a touch of beauty, infusing beautiful aesthetics with functional solutions. Design was always a passion of Kevin’s, perceiving the world full of colour, shapes, sounds, and timeless beauty. Driven by creativity and design, along with a passion for exploration and knowledge, Kevin ventured into the realm of development. It was then that Kevin was able to seamlessly blend design with development principles, adding life to each of his creations.

As the second employee at NVISION, Kevin was an integral part of the company’s growth and development for over 15 years. He led a team of imaginative minds, preaching the philosophy that design is not limited to aesthetics, but encompasses the art of problem-solving. To Kevin, design was the very solution to any problem at hand.

Kevin thrived on the creative process and eagerly welcomed new challenges. Kevin’s work was award-winning and recognized on an international level. He was the go-to person when debating the best design tools, as his expertise and skills were unparalleled. Kevin will always be recognized for his unwavering ability to forge design with development, bringing touches of beauty into any project.

Design is more than aesthetics, it is solving a problem, design is the solution to that problem
