I'm passionate about

Changing the world for the better. Taking dreaming and thinking to doing! Harnessing technology, art and nature to enhance peoples lives and build responsive sustainable environments and relationships

An idea worth spreading

Imagine a world of harmonised natural systems, including technology and humans! By reconnecting to our true roots in nature we can unveil the systematic patterns and rhythms of life, the hidden data, the building blocks of the universe. By designing in harmony and response to our environment with a deeper understanding, we can complement and enhance natures evolution. By embracing the notion of 'open source' in every area of our lives we can move way from the protectionist mentality of the past into an open, sharing, balanced evolutionary world of optimism, honesty and success!

The TED story

Stumbled into TED through a video that changed my outlook and direction. Wanted to go to the main conference for the last couple of years and then Global popped up! Applied got in and then got on stage and did a talk on cymatics! My talk got on ted.com and so many amazing people got in contact. This led to me co-running TEDx London and being invited to exhibit and talk at TED in Palm Springs, Long Beach and Edinburgh. I love TED and everything it stands for! What a great way to meet the people and hear the stories that fuel you to make every day unique, inspiring and amazing!!!
