About
I’ve always been drawn to quiet spaces — not just the ones around me, but the ones within. After a brain injury turned my life upside down, I didn’t return to who I was before. I began a deeper journey into healing, reimagining, and reconnecting with what truly matters.
Creativity has always been my lifeline. When I was nine, I bought a ukulele, and soon after, I started writing my own songs. Music was my way of making sense of emotions and thoughts. Much later, I discovered writing could do the same. Words gave me a way to catch my stories, understand my world, and share my journey with others.
For decades I worked with language: first as a translator, then as a musician, and now as a writer and artist. My work lives at the intersection of creativity, nervous system reality, and the quiet ways we try to make life workable.
I’m neurodivergent and I live with the impact of brain injury. That combination shapes how I think, feel, and create. It also shapes what I value: clarity over noise, honesty over polish, and pacing that respects the body.
This site is a home for:
Writing — personal essays on creativity, recovery, and everyday life with a wild mind in a busy world.
Art — drawings and visual experiments that hold both playfulness and truth.
AI, used consciously — practical explorations of working with AI as a creative partner, without replacing real human life.
Small projects and evolving work — some pieces are finished, some are in progress, and some are simply experiments worth keeping.
Vergie's World
Vergie is a goose with a neurodivergent nervous system.
She’s awkward, brave, tender, funny, and sometimes completely done with everything, but she keeps going anyway. Vergie’s World is a playful, gentle universe for people who don’t fit standard settings. Sometimes it shows up as an image with a caption, sometimes as a small scene, sometimes as an entire mood.
And she’s also personal: Vergie is my autobiographical avatar. She carries my sensitivities, my humour, my misfires and small victories, the parts of my story that are easier to tell sideways. So when you meet Vergie, you’re meeting me, just in feathered form.
She’s not here to teach you a lesson. She’s here to be real.
A note about this website
I don’t build this website as a showcase of perfection. I build it as a living archive: work I’ve made, things I’m learning, and small bridges between inner life and the outside world. It’s for people who think sideways, feel deeply, and don’t thrive in standard settings — and for anyone who likes creativity that stays human. Feel free to enter wherever you like.
