about

Step into the Mintiverse!

I'm Kim McCullough, and this little corner of the internet is where my passions converge. My path has been a fascinating blend: from exploring the vast landscapes of Australia for 13 years, to a homecoming in Cork that launched me deep into the human mind and behaviour with 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, we're not just about ideas – we're about bringing them to life! This year marks an exciting evolution:

  • Minti Minds Workshops! This is where the magic truly happens. Imagine tackling your toughest challenges or unlocking potential through hands-on, playful exploration.

These sessions are crafted to help individuals, teams, and even students in varying settings to:

    • Build innovative solutions to complex problems.

    • Enhance communication and foster shared understanding.

    • Spark deeper learning and critical thinking in an engaging, memorable way.

    • It's about transforming abstract ideas into tangible insights, all within a space that encourages curiosity and collaboration.
