Playful, visually rich children’s books for curious minds

I create children’s books that invite kids to question what they think they’re seeing. They surprise and delight through humour, close observation, and richly detailed illustrations.

I’m a children’s writer and illustrator based in Adelaide, South Australia. I create playful, visually distinctive stories with a strong sense of curiosity and observational humour. My work often draws on animals, behaviour, and the strange, funny ways kids interpret the world. The reward close looking and open-ended thinking rather than being instructive or didactic.
