I am a South African-based author of autofiction, fiction, and nonfiction prose. Born in Namibia and raised in South Africa, I’ve lived in Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, and Cape Town. Of all these places, Cape Town is where I truly come to life, inspiring much of my creative energy. Through my journey, I’ve learned to be my most authentic self regardless of my geographical location and gained valuable insights from my time in Bloemfontein.

Life has taught me resilience as a writer—to keep going even when manuscripts are lost, and to start over if needed. At one point, I had no choice but to write by hand, only to lose those books as well. Yet, I persevered, driven by an unwavering passion to tell my stories.

In addition to my writing, I am an architect with a profound love for creativity. DJing is another avenue for me to express myself, seamlessly blending my lifelong passion for music and design. I find joy in creating, whether it's through my books or other creative endeavors. When I'm not working, I occasionally indulge in reading. I'm an avid traveler who loves connecting with people from all walks of life. 

Adventure fuels my spirit—I’ve enjoyed activities like skydiving, bungee jumping, scuba diving, and motorcycle rides, which have pushed me beyond my comfort zone and given me a deeper appreciation for living in the moment. I am also passionate about staying active, training in the gym, practicing yoga, running, and swimming to keep both my body and mind healthy.

My journey as an author began in Cape Town in February 2017, when a chance encounter convinced me to listen to the universe’s nudge toward writing. That moment, so extraordinary, became part of my debut novel To Spain with a Rainbow Cake. Since then, I’ve never looked back. Writing has been a healing process for me, a way to transform the aching stories of my heart into something meaningful.

Writing is my way of bringing stories to life, creating spaces where people can escape, be entertained, and see the world through a different lens. My life has been anything but ordinary, and I strive to reflect that in my work—offering readers something truly unique. Through my writing, I also aim to create awareness about hidden truths in the world, sparking thought and conversation.

There’s no greater feeling than getting lost in the act of writing, being transported into another world—something I hope my stories do for every reader.
