I'm the owner, creative director and kinda mystical mastermind behind Ghost Bird

(If you're wondering where I got my name it's a character in one of my favourite book series of all time - The Southern Reach Trilogy - which deals with themes of nature, cosmic transformation, and what it means to be human and is generally a wild ride.)

My journey here has been epic. I spent years backstage in theatre handling wigs and wardrobe, transforming actors into completely different humans /creatures (with a ton of hairspray and the occasional costume malfunction). Meanwhile, my BA in illustration languished in a corner, occasionally emerging for a concert flyer, kid's book or web comic.

Enter 2020 and a complete halt to live events and therefore - my career! The pandemic gave me time to think and realize I wanted to blend everything I loved: my artistic eye, theatre background, and my interest in astrology, tarot, and all things beautifully weird and esoteric that I'd been keeping seperate from my work life and on the downlow because I thought it wasn't what people wanted.

Ghost Bird emerged from this intersection. It's where theatrical storytelling meets visual design, where practical brand strategy gets infused with intuitive magic. I work in those in-between spaces where the everyday meets the ethereal, where logic and creativity collaborate.
