About Messenger

Messenger is a writer, graphic designer and content creator whose work centres around philosophy and personal development. Through 2D animation, he explores ideas that can help people better understand themselves, their relationships and the world around them.

At the centre of Messenger’s work is Sage, a fictional character who strives to practice Stoicism in his everyday life. Sage is represented as someone who is still learning, often facing adversity, failure, fear and the many difficulties that come with being human. Through Sage’s experiences, philosophical ideas are brought into ordinary situations where they can be understood and applied.

Messenger’s interest in philosophy began with Stoicism and the works of thinkers such as Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca. Over time, this interest expanded beyond Stoicism into a broader exploration of philosophy and the different ways people have attempted to understand life. His work is about encouraging people to question and develop their own understanding through reflection.

This pursuit eventually became The Sage, Messenger’s first book. The book delves into topics like judgment creates suffering, accepting what one cannot control, ego and humility and so on.
