"I loved attending Zinefest, 2022 in Auckland. The amazing creations that I saw made me feel excited about creating my own.

Writing and illustrating is a wonderful outlet for expressing myself while living with chronic pain and chronic conditions. I like my creations and do not focus on perfection. I need to have fun and express myself by making a creative mess, especially because I feel like a mess sometimes. I enjoy encouraging people to be proud of themselves and learn to love their own projects and themselves.

I self-published a book with poems and illustrations last year called, 'Meditation Poems for Friends', and have sold them in-person among my friends and connections so far.

The zines and cards that I have made for the first time are based on my experience and management of chronic pain, loving yourself and your body, self-care and healing."
