Home isn’t a place. Home isn’t even where the heart is. Home is when you feel like yourself.
UX researcher Andy Irvine talks about his quest over recent years to find places where he felt truly at home and like himself. Andy explains how he has found this through people, through nature and through creativity. He discusses what led him to set up 5 Things, his morning event where speakers outline their key takeaways from non-fiction, his journey since taking up surfing, and what he discovered when he got back to more playful artistic practices.
