She works from her sunny home studio, where she looks out over houses and trees towards the sea with her spoilt ginger cat, Griffin. Fifi has been writing, drawing and making things ever since she can remember and feels happiest when she has a pencil, scissors or a glue gun in her hand. Her training was in Visual Communications Design, majoring in Illustration, and she has illustrated more than 50 picture books for trade and education. Fifi also has an MA in Creative Writing and is an award-winning junior fiction novelist and non-fiction author. Fifi was the 2019 Otago University College of Education Children’s Writer in Residence and this was where the two Book Hungry Bears titles, Where’s My Stick? and The Last Crayon were created.
