I am a South African artist, writer and stop motion filmmaker. Five of my books - four novels and a graphic novel - have been published (two by Penguin Random House). I've had several fine art exhibitions, and in 2017 I was a finalist in the Sanlam National Portrait Awards. My illustrations have appeared in more than 20 publications.
I work as a freelance translator for Penguin Random House, specialising in middle grade and young adult fiction. My translation credits (English to Afrikaans) include the last twelve instalments in Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid series; the first two in a recently launched spin-off series, and The Fault in our Stars, John Green's international bestseller.
