Aanii Friend!
My name is Bridget,
but my Anishinaabe name is Nimkiinagwaagankwe.

I'm an Anishinaabe author and illustrator from Kettle and Stony Point First Nation.
I currently live in London, ON with my wonderful son Noah and our cat, Captain Rex.

Raised in my home community along the shores of Lake Huron, I find a lot of inspiration in the natural world, my ancestral language, and the stories that move through my community. I love creating work that celebrates the ways humans connect to each other, the land, and the places and people we come from.

I graduated from Fanshawe College in 2021 with an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design and that same year my debut picture book ”It’s a Mitig!” was the winner of the 2021/22 Periodical Marketers of Canada’s Indigenous Literature Award (It was a really good year!)
