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.
