Sue King-Smith

managing editor

With over 20 years’ experience as a social worker, manager of human services teams, and educator, Sue has had a range of roles supporting children, families, young people and communities.

She holds a PhD in creativity and social justice and is passionate about the role creativity can play in helping people share stories, advocate for themselves, connect, heal and grow.

‘I feel incredibly lucky to work with such skilled, knowledgeable, and creative people—from authors and illustrators to people with lived experience, and the amazing IR team— who are all dedicated to making the world a more inclusive and respectful place. I feel inspired every day.’

Sue doesn’t have a favourite card set, but loves that they all have a different feel, look and purpose. ‘There is such an amazing range of visual styles—that’s where the joy is for me.’

In her spare time, she loves being in nature, hiking or cycling with her partner, Ian. She is also a compulsive traveller and enjoys spending time with family and friends, writing poetry and making weird, magical realist art objects.
