For the past five years, I’ve worked independently, designing high-impact, transformational wellness experiences for physicians.

I used to pride myself on being a perfectionist and high achiever, and I held onto those identities tightly. Today, my diplomas are stored in a box at the bottom of a closet. I recycled the majority of my race medals, and reviewing my CV contributes to pain.

In a short space of time, these patches have fundamentally altered the appearance of your skin and your interface with the world.
