I'm a culture writer based in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria. I write about modernism, the occult, islands, the dream-logic of late stage capitalism and tech, and the strange threads that connect them.

I grew up on Flinders Island – a remote island in Bass Strait, off the coast of Tasmania – and I go home as often as I can. I now live and work on the beautiful lands of the Dja Dja Warrung with my family and our dog, Henry.

I worked in bookshops for twelve years, including the Greville Street Bookstore during the design book heyday of the early 2000s. Everything I know about taste, I learnt there. I also have an Honours degree in Anthropology, something that turned out to be ideal training ground for a writer — it taught me to look carefully at how people actually live and the structures that surround and shape us.

I write short fiction, criticism, and essays. My journalism and corporate writing follows technology, authenticity, health and good design. My Substack, The Lost Island, explores human flourishing in the face of dramatic social, environmental and technological change. Drawing on the practices of various artists, writers and thinkers and rooted in the central premise of occupational therapy – that humans are doers and that we thrive when we are fully engaged in the activities of everyday life – the essays and investigations act as a kind of field guide for modern living.

Alongside my writing practice, I am studying a Masters in Occupational Therapy.
