Born and raised in South Africa (with a stint in the Seychelles), she moved to Canada in my teens, and on to the UK in twenties. Her migration-heavy background has had a big influence on her, and fostered a deep interest in hybridity and juxtaposition which influences her work. Her work tends towards gentle, contemplative stories grounded in real life, often with a magic realist twist. She approaches comics with a focus on a story's flow and pacing, appealing page design, and bold, organic lines.
