Skye Cusack

Skye is a queer & neurodivergent Dulgubarra-Yidinji writer living in Naarm. She founded BluSkye Marketing in early 2023 (feeling very clever for coming up with the name) with a vision for an accessible First Nations owned marketing agency. Outside of running BluSkye Marketing, you may find her around Naarm performing yarns that make you laugh, cry and wonder why she’s admitting these things to a live audience.
