Careers for Girls book was a labour of love. I had to learn how to; draw, decipher perspective, digitally colour, use six new software programs, design a book layout, figure out typography, create the book’s cover, and build this website. While I fit all of that into one sentence, in reality, it took five years to accomplish.

I had blisters from all of the learning curves; but if I can do it, anyone can. If you have an idea for a book inside your head; set it free.

Careers for Girls. Let go the sandbags and dream BIG.

Girls today are growing up in an image-conscious world that is teaching them to care less about ‘making a difference’ and more about making their faces look different. The women in this book want people to look at them and think smart first, not ‘pretty’ first. They prefer a makeup-free look and don’t mind a few hairs out of place.  They help girls to realise that what they can look like is not as important as what they can do. Whether these women are walking around, using wheelchairs or wearing prosthetic limbs they are all strong and capable.
