My writing comes to you from beautiful, unceded palawa country/Tasmania.

THIS NEWSLETTER IS ABOUT…
Coping, thriving + imagining.

It’s about ideas and tools to help us cope in troubling times, how we thrive and find joy and awe despite it all, and how we can imagine and create a better future. Plus some goings-on from the studio.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Roughly twice a month I write a newsletter. Generally the first one each month is a more in-depth newsletter, and the second one each month is a snappy update from the studio with some podcast or book recommendations that I’ve been getting into, that I think you’ll like too. You can read an ever-evolving list of recommendations here.

THIS NEWSLETTER IS FREE

I’m super happy to be writing for free here on Substack. I appreciate the pledges that some readers have sent me over time, but I don’t intend on turning on paid subscriptions for the foreseeable future.

If you’d like to support my work financially, you can ‘buy me a coffee’ via my website.

Your financial support helps me create time to make more free things and volunteer in my community.

ABOUT NAT
I live and work on the eastern shore of nipaluna/Hobart, putting down roots + connecting with community, after spending a couple of decades in other parts of the world, putting my energy and imagination into designing and storytelling for a better future.

On any given day I could be getting up to:
+ Editorial + commercial photography
+ Writing my newsletter
+ Designing + making art
+ Volunteering at my local community garden + repair cafe
+ Visible mending + sewing with waste fabric + running a fun and sporadic mending circle called Mending Mates.
+ Food growing + chicken watching
+ Hanging with my fam, sometimes pottering at home, sometimes adventuring.

You can read a little bit more about me here.

I hope you enjoy my dispatches. Really looking forward to connecting with you.

I live and work on beautiful Mumirimina Country, on the eastern shore of nipaluna / Hobart. I deeply respect First Nations peoples, and their elders, who are the Traditional Owners. They are the knowledge + story keepers, and their continued intimate connection to the land is vital to the health of the ongoing story of this country.

Always was, always will be.
