I'm Jordan, (she/her) a 31 year old Applied Psychology degree student living in Yorkshire. I have work published in Wishbone Words, Newport Zine and Shoaler, and art has been a huge part of my life since becoming chronically ill, as I can use it to live vicariously through my characters and to raise awareness of disability/chronic illness.

I was diagnosed with ME/CFS after becoming ill in 2020 during the pandemic.
I'm a wife and mother, and we live happily with our 2 cats and a budgie. You'll catch me drawing, watching anime and cataloguing my favourite cheeses (spoiler alert, it's all of them!)
