Cassie Higgins

Founder of Discovery Loft | Author, Story Architect, Emotional Cartographer

Cassie writes the way people feel before they know how to say it. With a background in narrative design, emotional development, and systems thinking, her stories live at the intersection of art, healing, and human behavior. Whether she's mapping the inner world of a child, a character, or a culture, Cassie's work reflects a singular mission: to build meaningful frameworks that restore connection—between people, between generations, and within ourselves.

Her debut children’s book Zuki and the Hidden Worlds is part fable, part roadmap—designed to help children (and their grown-ups) explore complex emotions with curiosity, not shame. Through The Loft, she continues to co-create books and build worlds that reflect depth, nuance, and radical honesty.

Isaiah Dunn

Loft Author | Emerging Voice | Observer of the Unspoken

Isaiah is a storyteller with quiet depth and a lens that sees far beyond the surface. With a natural ability to read emotion, patterns, and people, his writing reflects an intuitive wisdom well beyond his years. His stories don’t just describe what happens—they explore what it means.

As an emerging solo author, Isaiah is learning to translate his insights into worlds of his own making—ones that invite readers to look deeper, feel more, and think differently. His work through The Loft is just beginning, and his voice is one to watch.

Nova Dunn

Loft Author | Story Architect | Intuitive Creator

Nova is a creative force and a driving spark at The Loft. With uncanny intuition and a gift for seeing what others don’t, she often leads the team to story outcomes no one else could have predicted. Her imagination is vibrant, layered, and wise beyond her years.

As an up-and-coming solo author and creator, Nova is building stories that surprise, challenge, and inspire—and she’s only just getting started. Her voice is bold, intuitive, and deeply original.
