Timemap. What does your life look like over time? Can we make more sense of ourselves through pictures.
“We live life forwards, but understand it backwards.”
— Søren Kierkegaard
We’re experimenting
Timelines is a expressive project. Aimed at uncovering a creative way to explore ourselves. They offer a new angle—a different way to look at a slice of life and see what it might hold.
Is there a part of your life you want to look back on? A period you’re trying to make sense of .Or a time you feel proud of and want honour.
Right now, I’m looking for people who are curious.If you’re someone who wants to see what your life might look like from a different perspective—and you’re interested in whether the reflective process brings you any new awareness or understanding—you might be perfect for our first pilot group.
I’m looking for 10 people to be guided through a personalised timeline process with me. I’ll tailor it to what you want to reflect on and help you shape it into something visual, something you can keep.
The project is still taking shape, so this requires an open and curious mind.
If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.
Where this started..
The first timeline I made was about trying to better understand a relationship, a long-distance love. Messy in location, but deep in attachment.
It was a confusing period—we weren’t together, but thoughts of this person were all-consuming. I started wondering about the fragments of time we were physically together versus the space between.
And the tug of war we created through our different ways of being.Seeing it laid out didn’t heal my heart. But it gave me a much deeper lens into the impact of connection—how it plays with time and creates distortions.
Cathartic in its own right. And even now, sitting on my wall, it gives me a reason to pause—and step back into the lessons and reflections it holds.
Want to get involved? Let’s look at a slice of life as a timeline?
Join the pilot.
Right now, I’m working on timelines that explore, let us know, what you would like to explore.
Whole lives: layering places, people, jobs, relationships, and therapy
Travel timelines: locations, distances, kilometres ridden, places stayed
Beliefs and ideologies: tracking how your views have changed over time
If any of these spark something for you—or you’ve got an idea of your own—I’d love to hear it.
This project is still being shaped, and your input is genuinely welcome.
We’d love to have many voices on board.
Collaborate with us
The bigger vision behind Make Your Mind is to create different ways of expressing and exploring internal experience—through visuals, reflection, and shared storytelling.
We’re looking for collaborators who want to help bring this to life.
That includes:
Developers and coders who want to help us build visual tools
Designers and researchers interested in introspection, emotion, and systems
People passionate about building accessible, creative tools—possibly within a not-for-profit model
If that sounds like something you’d want to contribute to, we’d love to hear from you.
