Eli Harrell

In this episode of Products With Purpose, Eli spoke with Sarah Ticho Director and Founder of Hatsumi

Hatsumi is a design studio that explores the intersection of art, the brain, and the body. They develop tools that make intangible experiences visible and help people understand themselves and each other better.

Sarah Ticho began her career in the NHS before transitioning to contemporary art and film. Her experience with grief and mental health challenges sparked her curiosity about how to use embodied technologies to tell stories about the world and how the arts can help people live more fully.

Some of the highlights from this episode:

  • Exploring the intersection of art, and sensory feedback experiences to enhance creativity
  • Empowering individuals to share their unique stories using art & VR
  • Using art as a catalyst for conversations on mental health
  • Reconnecting with our body sensations through expressive practices for improved well-being

Make sure to stay until the end to hear Sarah’s book recommendation and something forward-looking that she’s optimistic about right now!
