About me (in a wee nutshell):
I am a freelance contributor to The Guardian (among other publications). My narrative nonfiction essays are humorous and honest, written with humility and a big dollop of midlife.

I have a professional background in the visual arts (illustration and graphic design) – I am combining my skills to create a series of children’s book (my first love). As a newly-minted midlife writer who has recently discovered my voice, I’m all in.
