Celebrating imperfection, organic forms, and hand-drawn work — my practice is deeply rooted in my Fine Arts background.

I grew up in Pōneke, Wellington, drawing at Inverlochy Art School, and later completed a Fine Arts degree. These days I my creative practice spans illustration, design, objects, sound, and storytelling as well as working as an arts educator at Auckland Art Gallery | Toi o Tāmaki.

My work often explores language, symbols, and hand-made forms — celebrating imperfection, analogue processes, and ideas that feel rooted in something bigger. I create a wide range of things, from icon packs and typefaces to prints, ceramics, short films, and visual research projects. My project on the language of protest won a Silver Best Design Award — a proud moment in a practice that mixes social themes, storytelling, and experimentation.

I’ve lived in London, Los Angeles and Byron Bay and worked out of an artist’s studio in New York. I’m always collecting scraps of inspiration — old books, signs, songs, objects, and the overlooked things that carry meaning.

I like: Sister Corita Kent, the 1970s, Nina Simone, Newport Folk Fest, art galleries, Los Angeles, old cars, folk music, the words of protest, documentaries, Badlands (1973), Eames, architecture, Apartamento magazine, Whangamatā, Joan Didion, walking in canyons, looking at rocks, and painting peace signs.

I currently live in Tāmaki Makaurau in a little Californian bungalow with my partner Nik and our dog Moon..
