I’m interested in how mindset and physical environment intersect, and the extent to which processes, technology and psychology can be harnessed for positive living.
Modern life is busy. Frenetic even. An always-on multiplicity of commitments. Career. Relationships. Family. We deliver results, act as organisational brand ambassadors, and strive for fulfilling private lives. Technology has compressed time and space to allow us to connect more than ever before. To do more than ever. But, without structure, the noise that comes with it creeps into every corner of our lives, and can feel overwhelming. A threat, even. Compromising our attention and ability to think beyond the daily churn.
At its broadest, good design means wellness, form and functionality in dialogue. A considered strategy that can, and should, place human psychology at its heart.
As human beings, lived experience is mediated via sensory responses to a material world. Getting smart about those responses, how we organise and harness them, means our lives can be consciously structured to improve what we get out of our day and keep us resilient in the face of change.
