Christian struggles to adequately explain what he does. He's from Dublin but somehow ended up living in Northern Ireland with his wife, Gayle and dog, Sam. In the past, at various times, he's been an academic (Social Anthropology), the director of an IT/Finance company and a stand-up comedian. He's performed 6 solo stand-up shows, 2 one-man plays and 2 sketch shows (with former comedy partner Rosie Holt) at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Christian spends most of his time writing The Life of Sharks, maintaining its social media presence and screen printing t-shirts, making mugs etc for customers of their online store. The rest of the time he spends making guitars and wishing Aaron Sorkin would write another great TV series.

Sophie is an illustrator living in London, UK. In her daily life, Sophie is a Product Designer who works on websites and apps. In a previous career, she worked for a mental health charity, and continues to be interested in research and fostering inclusivity.

She met Christian at a comedy festival in Melbourne, Australia in 2017 where their friendship and shared sense of humour began. He later discovered her love of drawing and the Life of Sharks became her first illustration gig. Little did she know, her sketches would go on to be shared worldwide, sparking the phenomenon that is the Life of Sharks.
