I’m a freelance writer and illustrator based in Hobart, Tasmania, with a character-driven, slightly strange approach to stories and visuals. Through my work at the Endring Institute for Advanced Human Confusion, I create original writing and illustration that leans into narrative, atmosphere, and that delightful feeling that something is just a touch off in the best way. I also have extensive freelance commission experience delivering bespoke writing and illustration for clients, including work connected to children’s publishing and selected artistic projects. I’m an owner and chief creative loon, and I enjoy turning ideas into readable, viewable worlds—whether through fresh concepts, ghostwriting, or artwork designed to engage curious minds.
