TMA ACCOUNTING - Key Persons


Elina Mcmanus

Elina is an Irish woman, embued with the classic calm and optimism associated with her kind. She graduated from Dublin City University in 1999 with a degree in business marketing. She founded RoundtheDowel with Robbie (see below!) in 2000, adding web design to her skillset and taking on projects of her own since day 1. She is the glue that holds RoundtheDowel together and keeps us grounded, reasonable and optimistic… She loves travel, mountains, riding bikes, carving powder-snow, sewing and organising her stationary in her legendary desk: "Pinky's World!" She also loves Aran and Zev, her little boys.

Robbie Mendelow

Robbie doesn't really know where he's from, concentrating more on where he's going… He graduated from Strathclyde University with a degree in Architecture and a clutch of commendations and prizes in 1996. Not content to trudge the narrow road of formal architecture, he chose a life of designing and building structures, small buildings, staircases and furniture, as well as graphic design, illustration and, as you probably guessed, web design. His appetite for learning new stuff keeps him always up to date with the latest web standards and trends, ensuring that clients don't miss out on any arising technologies … He loves skateboarding, snow, skydiving, drawing and playing with daisy, RoundtheDowel's Andalucian Rat-Catcher.
