I am a cartoonist, illustrator, and writer.
*
In the course of my working life, I have written film, TV, and play scripts, run writers' rooms, live-sketched events, illustrated everything from children’s books to album covers, run workshops about writing, story-telling, picture making, and cartooning, and have made a kids' book about how to save the world (by addressing the climate crisis). I broadcast a weekly comedy program on RPP FM, cartoon every weekday on Substack, and publish political cartoons regularly in Australia's The Age and Sydney Morning Herald newspapers.
Empathy and humour are at the heart of everything I make and do and am.
