About me
I am an illustrator and graphic designer with a background in biology, a sense of fun and a love of children's picture books. I have a passion for nature illustration, book design and typesetting. I also write stories and (goofy) poems and other stuff.
I live in (at times) chilly inland southeastern Australia with my husband and our quirky black rescue greyhound. Two of us love the cold.
In my other life I make maps for grown-ups and wrangle environmental spatial data. In the past, I have been a science communicator, a copywriter and a desktop publisher (among other things!).
I love all things feathered, furred, leafy, shelled, scaled and squishy. I'm interested in getting to know the individual up close—whether that individual is a human, a bird, a bee or a copepod! I guess you could say I care about the little picture.
My mission is to create illustrations, stories and information about the natural world that tickle the funny bone, inspire compassion and help develop deep understanding.
