Moleena is a young, mole-like creature that lives in the Underworld, a place beneath the surface of the Small Earth full of giant bugs, magic, and monsters. When everyone else in Moleena’s isolated village is transformed into monsters, she must embark on a journey to the surface to uncover the muddied history of her village, her family, and the  Small Earth.

The Story of Moleena’s Adventure is a middle-grade graphic novel that I began developing during my third year at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. In March, 2025 it placed within the top 20 entries at Kids Comics Unite Pitchfest; the prologue earned me a place at the 2025 Banff Comics and Graphic Novels Residency; and excerpts from the development were featured in Pages, a student exhibition at Emily Carr University of Art and Design and The Small Earth, a solo window exhibition at Oxygen Art Centre in Nelson, BC. I am currently working on the third draft of the script and illustrating chapter 1. For updates about its progress, check out my Instagram.
