About Our Team
Our goal as a team is to provide you with user-friendly and helpful psychological information. In order to do this, we have combined our different strengths and passions in an attempt to create a unique web-based enterprise.
Martin Phillips-Hing – I am a practicing psychologist – since 1998 – who has always been interested in looking for patterns and meaning in life. I believe that many difficult ideas can be better understood by using stories, metaphors and visual images. These serve to bridge the gap between the known and the unknown – expanding our understanding. I have found that many people benefit from some fundamental information that can be presented in an entertaining and engaging manner. I hope this site will contribute to the spread of this information.
Martin provides much of the psychological content for psychologist1.com
David Ediger – I am a graphic and visual artist. I have always challenged myself with new and creative forms of expression. I began with sketching, painting and sculpture. Early in the technological revolution I expanded to electronic media – print, web, interactive video, large format print, audio and interior design. I work to use art, words, images, light and movement to form a compelling presentation.
David provides the artistic and aesthetic tone for the site as well as the technical expertise.
Jean Kim-Butcher – I am an educator and trained as a schoolteacher. I have gravitated towards leadership roles and find that I function best as a facilitator who helps to empower others. I have a passion for education and as a language teacher, it is the teaching and learning of cultural mores that I most enjoy. Education has been central to the various activities I have conducted or coordinated for a variety of programs/projects – conflict resolution, work in a community centre, overseas humanitarian aid, school workshops, etc.
Jean is the project manager and educational consultant who works to help us get our message out effectively.
