Meri Kirihimete e ngā hoa Aroreretini
I was diagnosed with ADHD, Inattentive Type (moderate severity), in July this year at the age of 38. That diagnosis has been life-changing.
Suddenly, everything made sense—from not finishing college to struggling to pass qualifications, from dopamine-seeking behaviours in my 20s to drowning under the societal pressures of motherhood.
But it wasn’t all bad. I’d always excelled at learning creative skills like design, photography, and web development – as long as I wanted to learn them. But when it came to studying something like anatomy for my mind and body course? Forget it. No dopamine = no motivation.
Seabed Mining Sucks
Right now, there’s a chance seabed mining could be fast-tracked in Taranaki. While we’ve been distracted by polarising points of debate, legislation has been pushed through to allow Seabed Mining in the South Taranaki Bight.
If you are a resident of Taranaki, you have the power to put brakes on this particular Fast Track project. Sign the petition below to show South Taranaki Council that we won’t this to stop. Right now.
Progress Report: Building My YouTube Career as a Solo Mum with ADHD—And a Shoutout to Annah Kiiru!

Lysaght Watt Gallery Website Re-Design
The Lysaght Watt Gallery, a community-run gallery in Hāwera, Taranaki, is embracing a bright future. Currently located on Union Street, near Hāwera Town Square, the gallery is soon to relocate to the brand-new Te Ramanui ō Ruapūtahanga facility in the heart of the CBD.
This vibrant hub will house not only the gallery but also the local i-SITE, Hawera Library Plus, a café, and meeting spaces, creating an inspiring space to foster creativity and community connections.
With such exciting changes on the horizon, the Lysaght Watt Gallery needed a refreshed, user-friendly website. Create and Flow revamped their site to make it easily manageable for team members to keep the community up-to-date with the latest exhibitions and events. Updated gallery photos were also captured to bring a fresh, inviting feel to the online space.
It was a pleasure collaborating with this passionate community group to showcase art (which I love) and contribute to Hāwera Community Spaces (which I love as well!) <3
