Ngā Kete Kōrero
In 2023, I was commissioned to illustrate images for a pukapuka for Huia Publishers. The series is called Ngā Kete Kōrero and this issue was titled Te Tuakana, me te Taina ki te ao o Nehe. A non-fiction book about the Tuakana/Teina dynamics in Māori culture and how it has evolved over time.

Ngati Tama Papakainga
In late 2022, early 2023, I was commissioned to recreate a lost papakainga in Taranaki in partnership with Ngāti Tama iwi.
