I'm a fiction and 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 follows technology, authenticity, and internet culture. My Substack, The Lost Island, is a cabinet of curiosities for the historically minded and the presently unsettled – finding the threads that connect the early twentieth century's dream-worlds to our own. It's also a field guide — interventions, experiments, and exercises in attention for anyone who wants to look at the world differently.

Alongside this, I conduct one-on-one tutoring, and I'm developing a creative practice that stems from my ethnographic training. Focused on the concept of fieldwork, it draws on creative exercises and explorations from the surrealists, from Bruno Munari and Keri Smith, and a long tradition of writers and creatives who believe in the value of close attention.
