Philosophical Origins of Creative Pairs

Hi, I’m Gina! I’m a therapist, avid learner and educator. I’ve spent time in many settings, ranging from mental hospitals to jails and schools and most recently I’ve been coaching entrepreneurs in AI on self-care and social connection. I’m extremely interested in the origins of electric connections!

• Creative Pairs in History: The history of creative pairs and their patterns.
• Measures and Metrics of Creative Pairs: Psychological measures that give clues as to which pairs will be most complementary, and the limits of these measures.
