Mick Timpson is an award-winning architect, artist, author, yoga and meditation teacher, and internationally accredited coach and mentor.
With a First Class Honours Degree and Master’s in Architecture with Distinction, Mick spent over three decades designing and leading creative projects across the world — from Mexico, Manchester, and Moscow to Mumbai. His architectural and artistic work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Saatchi Gallery, RIBA, and CUBE, reflecting his lifelong commitment to creativity and transformation.
Today, Mick channels that same creative energy inward. As the founder of beanddo™ he leads community yoga and meditation classes coupled with pioneering programs and workshops that help people awaken their innate creativity, clarity, and purpose through yoga-based awareness practices. His work blends ancient wisdom with modern insight to help individuals and organisations grow from the inside out.
Mick is the author of, Making Happy Work, A Modern Way to Meditate and is currently completing his third book, The Inner Studio: A Modern Way to Create, which explores creativity as a spiritual practice and a means to self-realisation. His recent artwork continues this exploration — intuitive, meditative pieces that express the dynamic relationship between consciousness, form, and flow.
Although retired from architectural practice, Mick remains active in design and education. He is past Chair of the Cheshire West and Chester Design Review Panel and as a visiting lecturer at Manchester School of Art, teaching creative thinking, drawing, and design. He is registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB), a Senior Member of Yoga Alliance Professionals, and a Senior Practitioner with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC).
As Mick often says, his work now is about designing change from the inside out — helping people rediscover the creative intelligence and emotional depth that define our true human potential.
He is inspired by one of his boyhood heroes, Apollo Astronaut Ed Mitchell who said:
