1. Tell us something hardly anyone knows about you.
My grandma left me a treasured collection of over 100 salt and pepper shakers. Each has a unique character.
2. What is your nickname?
My nickname when I was young was – Andy Bear. I am very fortunate that it is now shortened to Andy.
3. What is your greatest fear?
Quokkas…. after a comical incident on Rottnest Island. I adore them from afar.
4. Describe your writing style in ten words.
I identify questions to investigate and share practical, thoughtful ideas.
5. Tell us five positive words that describe you as a creative.
Innovative, practical, curious, reflective and impactful.
6. What book character would you be, and why?
Plume! Tania McCartney has created this enchanting penguin character who loves food, friendship, fashion, travel, celebration and helping others. So many adventures investigating the many wonders of our world.
7. If you could time-travel, what year would you go to and why?
I’d travel back to Ancient Egypt (2600–2500 BCE), the age of the great pyramids, to explore shapes, colour, and inventions - and, of course, to walk like an Egyptian.
8. What would your ten-year-old self say to you now?
Be you! It is okay to experiment, create and wonder about your world.
9. Who is your greatest influence?
My mum. Growing up, I was surrounded by books and beautiful materials to experiment with and create. All my creations were celebrated.
10. What/who made you start your creative career?
As a beginning teacher, I searched for ideas to make the learning in my classroom explode with curiosity and creativity. I love my learners to use their senses. Learning needs to be three-dimensional…, multi-sensory. So, I began journaling my teaching ideas.
11. What is your favourite word and why?
Curiosity – it opens doors, inspires ideas, and makes the world fascinating!
12. If you could only read one book for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Tough choice! I’d pick Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. My first ever love in books and a world I never tire of.
