I’m Aoife! I’m an award-winning illustrator, writer, and comedian from the northside of Dublin. I’ve spent over 12 years working as a freelance illustrator with companies like Guinness, Aldi, Vodafone, Jameson, and SKY.

I’m best known for my children’s graphic novel series Frankie’s World, inspired by my own experiences growing up autistic. Released in 2022 with Scholastic, it has been translated into seven languages, including Spanish, Polish, and Korean, and won Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year at The Week Junior Book Awards 2023. It was also shortlisted for Children’s Book of the Year at the An Post Book Awards.

I’m also the author of the Your One Nikita books, which were adapted into an animated TV series for the RTE Player, animated and produced by Digital Beast.

When I’m not writing or illustrating, I perform stand-up comedy and speak at creative events, including Offset and major Irish festivals like Vodafone Comedy Festival, Body & Soul, and Electric Picnic
