Welcome to the Human Prototype blog, a space where the past and present converge to showcase the evolution of a life in progress. Inspired by my TEDx talk, "I am a Prototype," this blog is part of a broader journey of transformation through journaling, capturing the essence of living as a perpetual prototype. Each week, during 2024, I reviewed my archives from 2016, contrasting journal scans filled with drawings against the backdrop of my current experiences.

Then: June 13-19, 2016
This was a special week, with an idea at work that got approved for launch (it started with a “Pix to Pack” community I created in February - it’s in the journal!) but most importantly the performance of my monologue at the theatre!
I remember loving it. There is something very paradoxical about me and being on stage. I love it when I am there but the preparation process is excruciating.
I’d love to be on stage more but I can’t imagine going through the pain of preparation. Maybe I could reframe that pain into growth…gaslighting myself into it. Great idea!
Now: June 10-16, 2024
Hear the journey:
There's a unique intimacy in spoken words—a warmth and immediacy that text alone may not convey. In my weekly audio commentary, I share reflections both deep and light-hearted, offering a companion piece to the visual and written narrative.
