One for the book: A reminder. Self-development is often portrayed as a rosy, flowery progression from dumbass to enlightenment that involves a lot of joy, prancing in fields of daisies, and high-fiving two thousand people at a seminar you paid way too much to be at. But the truth is that transitions between the lifeContinue reading ““the truth is that transitions between the life stages are usually triggered by trauma””

Designing Healthcare through Art & Design.
Medicine develops so fast, especially radiotherapy. But one of the areas we’ve not caught up with and developed is the design of healthcare. I know what you’re thinking. What’s art & design got to do with anything in healthcare, really? And if you’re thinking this – this basically uncovers one of the reasons why designContinue reading “Designing Healthcare through Art & Design.”
1 year older, Casting Lines.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I’m getting old. I found my 10th grey hair today (yes I’m counting) But I’m still here. I’m still alive. And it amazes me. But there’s a lot I don’t know.

Good bye 2015, thank you. Hello 2016
My mom always says that on the first of the new year, you should do a little bit of everything good: small bits of good habits you want to carry through into the new year. That’s how I’ve always tried to start every first day of the year, no matter where in the world IContinue reading “Good bye 2015, thank you. Hello 2016”

In 4 months time, it will be 2 years since I made the decision to split my energy between being an artist and working in healthcare & medicine. I wrote a blog post, around about 2 years now about how I wasn’t going to change. I was still – and foremost – an artist, foreverContinue reading “Being an artist is really tough, but it never feels like work.”
What endures, what lingers, and what gets washed away?
It’s nearly been a whole year since the last Thanksgiving, already. I know, Thanksgiving as a Brit living England is technically not my holiday. However, I wish we had something similar in the UK. Like, I dunno, a Kindness-Day – a national holiday where everyone gets the day off & it’s a reason to takeContinue reading “What endures, what lingers, and what gets washed away?”
