Nicola (she/they) is an award-winning Irish children’s book illustrator and author.

Nicola is neurodivergent and was late diagnosed with ADHD. Though there are some challenges, she is proud of her fizzy, busy brain and ability to think in a non-linear way.  She lives in Bristol with her partner and their gentle black and white cat, Odysseus.
