I’m a writer, show host, and producer exploring the psychology of transformation: how people change themselves and their surroundings.
My work lives at the intersection of storytelling, identity, and the mental architecture we use to navigate change. It shows up as essays, podcast conversations, and short weekly letters.
At the center of it all is a question I keep circling:
What happens in the space between who we were and who we’re becoming, and how do we move through it without losing ourselves?
I’ve always been drawn to the stretch where identity wobbles; when the old story stops working and the new one isn’t written yet.
What You’ll Find Here
Essays & The Friday Letter
I write essays, near-poems, and share "field notes" (lived experiences) about freedom, identity, and the slower work of becoming. Once a week, I send The Friday Letter—a short, reflective email with a story, a question, or a small experiment to help you see your life from a different angle.
Nonconventional (YouTube Show)
Nonconventional is a video podcast series where I sat down with people whose lives don’t follow the usual script—wingsuit pilots, filmmakers, monks, record-holding athletes. I was interested in what happens behind the polished versions of their achievements: the turning points, the identity pivots, the implosions that shape a person’s arc. The show isn’t running anymore but the archive’s still here, and the stories are timeless.
A Buddhist View (Podcast)
I also co-host A Buddhist View. A podcast with Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, a Tibetan monk and longtime translator for the Dalai Lama. We talk about how ancient frameworks hold up in modern life. Think less spiritual branding, more practical tools for being a person.
How I Got Here
My academic background blends Western science and Eastern philosophy. I studied Archaeology & Anthropology, Film & Digital Media, and later completed an MSc in Cognitive & Perceptual Brain Sciences at UCL. Around that time, I began studying Tibetan Buddhism with teachers like Ringu Tulku Rinpoche and H.E. 12th Tai Situpa.
Those years didn’t give me answers—but they quietly dismantled a few assumptions:
- Our minds are shaped by habits, expectations, and stories—and they can be easily reweired.
- What hurts isn’t always what happened; it’s the meaning we assign to it.
- Clarity isn’t one big moment of truth; it’s a series of small, often inconvenient realizations we have to keep choosing to honor.
Since my studies at UCL, I’ve been experimenting with tools that help us meet change more readily. Internal Family Systems. EMDR. Radical honesty. The Meisner Technique. Family Constellation. Psychedelics. Even new technologies—yes, including AI and blockchain—that reshape how we live, work, and relate. My writing is just where I report back.
Before I began writing full-time, I ran a video agency in London, made a documentary in Kenya, co-founded a Webby-nominated non-profit storytelling platform, and advised tech companies on how to tell more human stories. What connects it all is a simple idea:
"Stories shape us—until we learn to shape them back."
Things I Keep Circling
- The complexity and comedy of being human.
- The maps we inherit—and the ones we redraw.
- Mindfulness and presence.
- Impermanence, and our habit of acting surprised by it.
- Shared stories as a form of medicine, especially the messy but real ones.
"When I’m not writing or in conversation, I’m probably bruising my knuckles on a boxing bag, chasing seagulls with my eFoil, or trying not to crash a drone."
