The Book Bump
A creative journal exploring storytelling, from the dark twists to bright illustrations.
Here, I document my creative life as it unfolds — from self-publishing a psychological thriller, to training as an illustrator, to learning how to build a sustainable creative practice without burning out.

Every creative journey has a middle. This post captures mine: the projects, doubts, and decisions shaping my work right now.
Learning in Public: What I’m working on Right Now (and Why I’m Taking It Slow)
This post isn’t about big announcements or finished projects. It’s a snapshot of what I’m working on right now — illustration training, a personal picture book project, slow writing sessions, and a gentler blogging rhythm. Learning in public means sharing the messy, in-progress side of creativity, and choosing a pace that’s sustainable rather than impressive.
For quiet updates on my current projects, works in progress, and creative reflections, you can sign up for my newsletter, Studio Notes & Stories.
