I was born and raised in Rotorua, New Zealand, geothermal gateway to the centre of the earth. My childhood was a juxtaposition of harsh realities and beautiful fantasy, while my adulthood has been entirely London, city of colour and culture, history and darkness, where I've learned that words are tools we can carve and twist to shape worlds in the imagination of those around us. By day I work in media and writes stories. By night I spend time with my pet snake, Kowhai, and enjoy London’s alternative-goth scene. I also love my rock music, and am a massive fan of travel and exploring the beautiful world we live in.
