Meet the Creator Behind Joe & Hilde
The creator behind The Adventures of Joe and Hilde: Life, Love and the Spectrum is a storyteller, therapist, teacher, and Gratidoodler™ and someone who has spent a lifetime trying to make sense of the baffling, ordinary and weird chaos of being human. Through doodles, vignettes, cartoons and small reflections, she creates a variety of characters, like Hilde and Joe, to say the quiet parts of life out loud.
When not drawing or making miniatures, she’s laughing with her family, playing dollhouse with her grandchild, or deep-thinking about the multiple-world theory and the possibility of aliens in the ocean. She's on a daily quest to navigate autoimmune issues while she and her learn how to embrace his late-in-life autism diagnosis after years of misunderstanding.
She lives on the East Coast with her spouse of almost forty years, a cat who adopted her, and a doodle filled cast of journal characters. She's a proud card-carrying Gen-Xer with more pens, sketchbooks, and Procreate files than she’ll ever admit. Heading into her latter years, she continues doing what she loves most: seeking authenticity, creating, connecting, and making meaning for herself and other women.
