My name is Rich. I enjoy exploring how we can live well in a complex world. This site holds a few decades of this exploration in ideas and creative projects.
Some of my interests: mental models, complex problem solving, collaboration, teams, identity, social processes, creative practice, inner life, religion, leadership.

Movements and causes I am connected to
Togetherness is a movement for human connection. The aim is to give people skills and experiences so they can have better relationships with themselves and others. I've been supporting with strategy and brand - as well as being a facilitator at events.
I co-founded this south london community in 2009 with a group of friends. It is a group orientated around spiritual growth and doing good in the world - where the whole community is co-owned and co-run.
?What If! Innovation
I worked at this world-leading innovation consultancy for 8 years. In 2017, for their 25th anniversary, I presented them with a brass plaque commemorating all the lives transformed - on behalf of 80 alumni.
Camberwell
I live in Camberwell and take great interest in the local area - having been a board member for Camberwell Arts Festival, hosted three art exhibitions, two public artworks and volunteered on the new identity.
