I help people navigate relationships across cultures, distance, and uncertainty—by making communication more human, clear, and connected.

With over 25 years of international experience in visual communication, facilitation, and coaching, I bring together design thinking, dialogue, and cross-cultural understanding.

For over a decade, my work has focused on supporting communication in complex human situations—drawing on Nonviolent Communication, mediation, and cross-cultural practice.

I design visual tools, guides, and learning experiences that help people stay close across distance, understand each other across differences, and navigate life between cultures.

In parallel, I work as a graphic recorder, visual facilitator and visual communication specialist, helping teams, organizations, and facilitators make complex conversations visible, accessible, and meaningful.

Through all of this, I bring together clarity and empathy—so people can not only communicate, but truly connect.

I’m a mother, co-parent and partner, living between cultures myself. With Dutch nationality, Asian roots, and Slovenia as my home since 2006, this work comes from how I live my life.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

“I invited Mireille to join the AEIOU Executive Retreat as a graphic recorder because she has an exceptional ability to translate the insights experienced by participants of this multi-day transformational event for senior executives into beautiful visual captures.

Her graphic recordings stay with us, and even a quick glance at them instantly reconnects us with the experience of the training.

I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to add an additional dimension to their event and create a lasting visual legacy of the experience.“

“I am grateful for the opportunity to cooperate with Mireille in helping us create a visual story about our organization’s strategy and a project where we engage young professionals who act as key agents of EU integration processes and public administration reform.

This collaborative process involved several meetings during which we first presented our understanding to Mireille. Our conversations involved extensive questioning and iterative feedback to ensure that the right and relevant information was shared. By thoroughly discussing and refining the information during these meetings, we ensured the final visuals accurately reflected our strategy and the project summary. This commitment to detail and clarity enhanced the quality of both visuals.

As content experts, we worked with Mireille, the visual expert, to co-create the best possible outcome. I was impressed by Mireille’s exceptional ability to listen (and hear) and translate complex ideas into clear, concise visuals that improve comprehension and tell an engaging and compelling story.“
