They are the author and illustrator of the chapbooks Kinauvunga? (Publication Studio Guelph, 2024), Inuujunga (Coven Editions, 2021), and short story Unikkaannguaq (Nipiit Magazine, 2020). They have had their artistic works featured through projects with Purolator, MassivArt, and Inuit Art Quarterly, among other organizations.
