THE WHEN
Me in Numbers
In the past I’ve been a lot of things, some may say scattered but I like to think of myself as an eclectic generalist. I think this diversity in experience lends itself well to the field.

Picture Books
I read stories to my children, every night three to four books. I love this bedtime ritual: seeing their bright faces grow tired and fall asleep. Even though there were hundreds of excellent works, there were stories I wanted to tell Florence and Miles that I never found on the bookshelves. So I started writing and illustrating picture books for them.
THE WHY
Me in a Nutshell
I’m a straightforward human that trusts implicitly and enjoys brainy repartee. I’m happy to chat about the weather, but if you want to go deep, that’s where I like to be.
- lovely to be around – 90% 90%
- fiercely compassionate – 77% 77%
- radically transparent – 85% 85%
