Designer - Book Clutches
I'm an artist and designer of bespoke book clutches - my passion is to transform unloved books and turn them into wearable pieces of art. My passion is upcycling - finding unloved books and transforming them into unique statement pieces. I absolutely love to make gifts for bookish fans and nerds like myself! Visit my Shop page to browse my bespoke clutches.

Creative Writing Workshops - facilitator
I run creative writing workshops on the Central Coast and Hunter region, working with adults and children. I'm passionate about encouraging people to embrace the power of storytelling.
