Paul McKenna is a designer, teacher, university lecturer, photographer and artist and lives in Herne Hill, Victoria, Australia. He has run a design business, Colourfield Design since 2002 working passionately on educational flora and fauna brochures and many other publications and websites.

He has worked as an Experience Designer, lectured in Design Skills, User Experience Design and Design Thinking at Deakin University and has worked in the Web Team at Federation University.

He has two adult children he’s very proud of and loves dearly. You can often find him at home in the lush garden tending the veggies and native plants and smelling the roses. Oh, and he likes the beach.

He is ever grateful for his large, boisterous, crazy and wonderful family of nine brothers and one sister and most importantly an amazing Mum OAM (dec) who taught him to ‘never give up’ and ‘look after others’. His Dad OAM (dec) spent his life looking after his family and making the world a better place. Two wonderful role models.

He is constantly inspired by the hard work and dedication of the many in the medical field who tirelessly support mental health patients and those passionate about holistic and natural approaches.

He hopes people will find hope, peace, reassurance and empowerment reading this book in their time of need.
