Hi I’m Bill
I’m a coach, facilitator, and creative. I’ve worked in design, technology, education, and media for over 25 years.
My work is inspired by a lifelong meditation, yoga, movement, and creative practice. I love to explore and to share the benefits of this practice.
I’m based in London, and I’ve worked around the world for a variety of companies large and small including Google, Canon, and Warp Records.

Things I do
- Coaching and training. 1:1 and groups. Strategy, management, careers, creativity, design, problem solving, and meditation. Not always in that order.
- Writing. I write on topics close to my heart: teamwork, management, creativity, design, technology, and meditation.
- Music. I’m an ecstatic dance facilitator and DJ. I write and perform music, both solo and in groups.
- Podcasting. With my awesome co-host Jasmine Che, I explore mindfulness, wellness, and enlightenment with some of our favourite teachers in the Awake In podcast.
- Public speaking, hosting, and workshop facilitation on topics like teamwork and ethics – at events like UX Crunch, Mobile UX London, Product Is, and UX Tokyo

Rediscovered this beautiful album after not hearing it for 30 years! Think my mum or step-dad had a cassette – the kind of thing we used to discover via Andy Kershaw’s show on Radio 1. I couldn’t find a decent translation, so I made one by typing up a French version from a 1980’s scrolling…

Sorry. I know there’s a war on. Why even write about this? I think it matters, perhaps even more, given the way social media has helped Putin build a case for his war. What can I do about the war? Well, I don’t know. Beyond try to help my friends in Ukraine (not much I…
