Hello! I’m Sinead Stevenson, a mother, teacher, and author from Geelong, Australia.

In 2023, I faced intense challenges that made creativity essential to my wellbeing. I’d always valued creativity, but rarely shared my work, until I asked myself: Am I really living up to my potential?

So I felt the fear and did it anyway.

After a year of refining the text, and another year collaborating with my talented illustrator Olha, Making Brighter Days was born by late 2025. It took grit, patience and love, and I hope it brings you light, just as it did for me.
