Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Javy Wong Galindo, M.A., M.Eng., is a college psychology instructor, musician, writer, entrepreneur, and humorist. This former electrical engineer and performing arts teacher has over 13 years of experience providing creative consultation. He is available for lectures, workshops, interviews and can be contacted through his website, www.Thinking-Differently.com. Javy’s interests in thinking differently began the first time he answered a question incorrectly on a test, which occurred early and often in his childhood. As a youth, he developed a passion for storytelling, creative writing, sketch comedy, and performed in various instrumental music ensembles. This affinity for creative endeavors naturally led him to a decade long career working in a cubicle as an electrical engineer. He holds both a master’s and bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from UC San Diego with minors in philosophy and music theory. While working as an engineer for companies such as Motorola and Northrop Grumman, Javy participated in various corporate creativity workshops. At the same time, he continued to feed his creative hungers by being an educator for several Southern California non-profit youth arts organizations and as a San Diego high school music instructor. In 2007, Javy took a hiatus from his engineering career to pursue an academic investigation of the creative process at John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill, CA. Here he earned a master’s degree in consciousness and transformative studies specializing in the psychology of creativity and east-west philosophy. He currently instructs college courses in Psychology and Mathematics and often works with older students transitioning into new careers. When he’s not grading papers or speaking on creativity, Javy can be found singing at a club, performing bad comedy improv, writing an unfunny comedy sketch, or running poorly on an uphill trail.
