About

(pronouns: she/her)

I’m a writer illustrator based in South Wales. With a background in the museum sector, I’m an experienced heritage specialist and have developed exhibition interpretation, learning activities, workshops and resources for organisations including the Horniman Museum and Gardens, the Museum of London and Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust. In a previous life, I was a Museum Development Officer (MDO) for the London region, so I’m familiar with Museum Accreditation.

Inspired by the tradition of fairytales and fables, I create stories and learning resources – through the development of story worlds, characters and gently playful pictures – that help kids (the grown-up ones as well as the little ones) to make sense of the world, ponder a topic, reflect or smile.
