Our Founders
NIAMH MCCROSSAN
Founder & Director
I'm Niamh, a 3rd year International Relations and Law student. I was first inspired and followed suit of all my friends, sharing and feeling rage after the verdict of the Cork rape trial. I then knew I could funnel this energy of myself and others to produce something really special, and I hope I have achieved that. I am so grateful for my team of amazing people full of passion and enthusiasm, and I can't want to see what this movement holds!
I oversee our projects from start to finish, coming up with ideas with Amy, creating and ordering products, then advertising and selling!
AMY STEELE
Head Illustration & Graphic Designer
Hi I’m Amy! I’m in fourth year studying illustration. Niamh asked me to get involved and design some merchandise for The Noisy Movement and I was super keen to help - it’s a great idea and such an important cause!
​
I work with Niamh coming up with creative ways to use my designs for merchandise, and create graphics for our social media accounts and website. I also help with selling when I'm not in the studio.
CATHERINE WELSH
Finance Director & Committee Member
Hi I'm Catherine and I'm currently in 3rd year studying Chemistry at Edinburgh University. The Noisy Movement was founded by my flatmate Niamh and I instantly wanted to get involved. The issues behind the 'this is not consent' campaign are a serious issue at the centre of todays society. I wanted to get involved to try to help make a difference to young people who have been through this and hopefully with the tote bag sales so far we can do just that!
I deal with all the fundraising and finance aspects, overseeing our budgets and total contributions to the movement. I also help at all the events!
NATHAN SHARRATT

​
My roles include web design, online orders & helping at events.
FRANNIE WISE
