Kia Ora e te whānau!

I’m a freelance writer and illustrator based in Tāmaki Makaurau. With a specialty in narrative illustration, I’ve worked across publications, editorial illustration, animation, murals and community kaupapa.

In early 2025 I finished up my Master of Creative Practice at Unitec, receiving first-class honors for my research, ‘Wilding: The role of the bizarre in illustrated narratives’. My accompanying graphic novel, To seed to sprout to seed, a strange and twisting story about a girl with a plant growing in her chest, received a Bronze Pin at the 2025 Best Design Awards.

My autobiographical short comic Whiplash received the ‘Best of the Fest’ award at the 2025 Auckland Zine Fest, with the judges noting that “every visual choice adds brutal force to a singular, gut punch-honest narrative. Nothing wasted, everything working.”

When I was 9 I wrote and illustrated an eco-activist comic called ‘Sam the Super Worm’ and luckily, not much has changed.

I fill the rest of my time with mahi at Objectspace gallery in Grey Lynn where I wear many hats - Design and Comms Assistant, Gallery assistant, Junior Technician, and Archivist.
