Dr. Tasha Golden, PhD is a speaker, consultant, and Director of Research at the International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins. As an internationally-recognized leader in the science of “Creativity x Wellbeing,” Golden’s talks and publications have helped catalyze paradigm shifts in healthcare, public health, and the creative sector — such as her work on “Arts on Prescription”: a growing model of care that is reshaping how “health” is defined and created.

Holding a PhD in Public Health, Golden's work is informed by her history as a career singer/songwriter, founder of Project Uncaged: a trauma-informed creative writing program for incarcerated youth, and developer of “How We Human”: a pioneering Mental Health training designed specially for creative professions. Bridging research and action, Golden’s partnership tools and “Health IDEAS Framework” have helped thousands of leaders reimagine and enhance their work, grow their reach, and ignite their social impact. Her recent projects focus on how design and aesthetics contribute to wellbeing — emphasizing practical applications for city- and industry leaders. Learn more at tashagolden.com.
