I was born in Santa Monica and raised in both Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Ōtepoti and Tāhuna. I am a designer whose practice is rooted in storytelling and self-expression. I am passionate about conveying ideas through compelling visual concepts and designs that foster genuine connection. Often narrating stories and engaging with information visually through illustration, short narratives, zines, comics and prints. I hope to create resonant work that centres girlhood and queerness, fostering accessibility and uplifting marginalised voices within my communities. I just graduated Te Herenga Waka: Victoria University, studying Design Innovation, majoring in Communication Design. I was awarded the Ocean Design Award for Excellence in Communication Design 2025 and featured in Design Assembly's Hot New Things series!
