The Artful Parent has always been a home for creativity, curiosity, and raising kids with imagination at the center.
We’re a small, global team of creators, parents, educators, and storytellers — each bringing a unique perspective to the world of creativity and family life.
EDITORIAL TEAM
Our editorial team is made up of real writers and creators who bring diverse global perspectives, family stories, and hands-on experience to The Artful Parent.
Lachlan Brown
EDITOR & LEAD CREATIVE
Lachlan Brown is a writer, entrepreneur, and mindfulness enthusiast who recently stepped into the most creative role of all: parenthood. Based between Vietnam and Singapore, he’s the founder of Brown Brothers Media, a digital publishing company.
A psychology graduate and bestselling author of Hidden Secrets of Buddhism: How to Live with Maximum Impact and Minimum Ego, Lachlan brings together insights from psychology, mindfulness, and everyday family life. His writing often explores how we can live with more presence, compassion, and resilience — values he’s now discovering all over again through the eyes of his baby daughter.
When he isn’t building websites or writing about mindful living, Lachlan can usually be found running in the tropical heat of Saigon, practicing his Vietnamese with his wife’s family, or soaking up the small but magical moments of early parenthood.
Ainura Kalau
EDITORIAL WRITER
Born in Central Asia, shaped by Malaysia, polished in Australia, and now raising her family in São Paulo, Ainura brings a deeply multicultural lens to her writing. She blends practical creativity with everyday family rhythms, often drawing inspiration from global cuisines, sunny Brazilian afternoons, and hands-on craft projects at home.
When she’s not writing, she’s experimenting with new recipes while binging true-crime shows, crafting with her kids, or exploring a new park or beach.
Cecilia Lim
EDITORIAL WRITER
Cecilia is in her early 50s and loving this chapter of life. After many years in corporate customer service, she transitioned into freelance writing so she could spend more time doing what she loves: cooking, caring for family, and crafting stories that help others.
A proud mom of three grown sons, she writes with warmth, honesty, and a deep appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. When she’s not writing, she’s dog-sitting her sister’s poodle or trying out new recipes.
Kiran Athar
EDITORIAL WRITER
Kiran is a freelance writer with a degree in multimedia journalism. She explores spirituality, psychology, love, and connection through a grounded, heartfelt lens. Her writing often encourages parents to reflect, slow down, and find meaning in the ordinary.
As she continues her own journey of self-discovery, she hopes to inspire others to do the same. You can connect with her on Twitter: @KiranAthar1.
Roeselle Umlas
EDITORIAL WRITER
Roselle is a former educator who loves diving into what makes us tick—how we think, how we connect, and what truly strengthens our relationships with the people around us. Her writing is thoughtful, warm, and grounded in real human experience.
Outside of work, you’ll find her painting, traveling, or enjoying a cozy night in with a book.

Anja Keller
STAFF WRITER
Anja is a former corporate professional who now writes full-time between naptimes, meal prep, and preschool pickups. She specializes in stress-saving systems for family life: realistic routines, organized play areas, capsule wardrobes for kids, and home habits that keep the chaos manageable. When she’s not writing, she’s color-coding the family calendar or turning errands into mini adventures with her children.
Tony Moorcroft
STAFF WRITER
Tony retired from a long office career and discovered a second calling in writing. Drawing on lived experience, he reflects on family, happiness, purpose, and the transitions that shape modern life. His gentle, thoughtful storytelling helps readers make sense of big emotions and small moments alike. You’ll often find him strolling through his local park with his grandchildren.
