Apps, art, and ground to stand on.
I'm James. I build apps, draw Celtic knotwork, and collect resources for people living with complex PTSD. This is my page for all three.
Apps
Two apps coming soon, and a third in development. See every app in detail →

- Muscle recovery and weekly volume body maps
- A daily 天地人 ring for mind, body and practice
- Workouts, steps and State of Mind in Apple Health

Art & Photography
Digital paintings and photographs, with prints coming soon. See the gallery →
