My name is Michele Gauler, I am a cognitive psychologist and designer/illustrator. I create spaces, formats and materials that help people (myself included) to enter the in-between space of not-knowing in order to learn, just be and let new thoughts and results emerge.
As a psychologist and artist, I’m interested in all things human: Conversations, the human condition, human development & learning, psychology and play. I tend to express the intangible and I am excited about the stories and growth these expressions can spark.
In my work as a visual facilitator, I work with individuals, leaders, teams and organisations and use images, art and design to express people’s thoughts and catalyse change. My more ‘finished’ work, such as the pieces in my Shops are meant to still carry the energy of being ‘in process’ in order to spark something in you.
