about

Hi, I'm Kim McCullough, and this little corner of the internet is where my passions converge. My path has been an interesting blend: from exploring and working in Australia for 13 years, to a homecoming in Cork that launched me deep into studying Applied Psychology at UCC. My academic journey, culminating in theses on Creative Pedagogy and adolescent stress resilience, revealed a profound truth: learning thrives when it's dynamic, inclusive, and celebrates individual unique wiring. Combined with my background in graphic design, I'm a firm believer in the power of creativity to transform education.

At Minti Studios, it’s not just about ideas – it’s about bringing them to life! This year marks an exciting evolution:
