Creativity isn’t just about making things — it’s about making space. Especially on low-energy or emotionally heavy days, creative work becomes a gentle form of care, reflection, and expression. In this post, I share how my process has shifted with chronic illness, and why slowing down and focusing on the meaning behind the making has changed everything for me.

Even though I can’t explore wildflower paths the way I used to, nature still plays a huge role in my daily life and creative work. In this post, I share the gentle, accessible ways I stay connected to the outdoors — from birdwatching at my window to weaving nature into my art and storytelling. A reminder that our relationship with nature can evolve, but it’s always there for us — in new, softer ways.

I’ve always wanted to create books that feel cosy, calm, and relatable. One thing I’ve noticed is that there aren’t many children’s books out there that gently validate difficult feelings while offering simple tools for self-regulation.

When I was diagnosed with POTS, I turned to art to process what words couldn’t.

This collection of awareness designs was born from real experiences — gentle, validating, and honest.

It’s for anyone navigating invisible illness, and everyone who wants to better understand it.

Threads of Thought began as a set of 12 illustrations for a calendar, each one inspired by quotes from female authors in the public domain. These quotes are ones I personally return to — reminders to slow down, breathe, and take care of my wellbeing.
