About me

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Completed a double degree in Education and Visual Arts (majored in Jewellery & Metals).

I was a teacher back in Australia before moving to Japan in October 2015.

I'm currently working as a freelance writer and developing my own media production company, Nan's Lucky Duck. Nan's Lucky Duck produces and teaches creative communication. Most of the content I've produced relates to travel, cultural identity and education.

I've written and illustrated two children's books. One of which, Noonie and the Missing Bone is available to purchase online www.nansluckyduck.com.au/noonie

I joined Canvas predominantly to offer a hand, toe, eye...whatever it is you need.
