I work with not-for-profit organisations and creative agencies, offering illustrations and bespoke content for books, websites, marketing materials, brand identity, social media, advocacy campaigns and more.

I love creating images that stand alone, and replace the need for words.

I was born and raised in Mullumbimby, as a kid I spent my days sitting quietly at the kitchen table drawing, painting and getting my hands on anything I could create with. Growing up with a novelist Mum and a musician Dad meant that there was no shortage of musical instruments, canvases, glitter, colour and everything that would keep me busy and inspired. This environment felt natural, and fostered my creativity and passion for the arts that I took with me into the world.

Since then, I have lived and worked in both Melbourne and Berlin, while also having toured globally as a musician. On my tours, I always carried my sketchbook and continued to draw and paint throughout my music career. While living and working in Berlin I worked under Gregor Hildebrandt as an artist assistant, and it was there that I established my creative practice and illustration portfolio.

Upon arriving back in Australia, I have continued my practice as an emerging artist, illustrator and designer. Working predominantly for Australian non-for-profit organisations & creative agencies in the arts, health & community sectors. Some clients include Only Human Stories, Consumer Health Forum, Bonnie Support Services, Australian Network on Disability, YWCA Auckland and Rosebank.
