Hello, I’m Ian

I’m an avid journal keeper and analogue enthusiast. Having fallen into the journaling habit during lockdown, I discovered the practice of journaling was a great creative outlet for recording ideas, emotions and the simple joys of everyday life.

Knowing the beneficial impact journal keeping can have on mental health from personal experience, I hope to encourage others into exploring this useful tool to express and reflect.

I host a monthly Journal Club at Hunter Paper Co, Ballyhackamore and I run junk journaling & mindful creative journaling courses at The Crescent Arts Centre, Belfast.
