Hello! I am a comics maker and illustrator interested in all forms of visual storytelling. I love experimenting with the language of comics and book/zine forms to create interesting reading experiences and explore sequential design and visual problem-solving.
I find stories out in the world to filter through my personal perspective, specialising in non-fiction narrative and 'faction', and I am particularly inspired by landscapes, technology and science, and the human stories that intersect them.
