                                              CLIENT EXPERIENCES

                                              Tina Žagar

                                              senior officer, communications

                                              VISUAL COMMUNICATION SERVICES

                                              “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.

                                              GRAPHIC DESIGN

                                              ”All through the process of working with Mireille on several projects I have been impressed and delighted by what she brought in terms of skills at the level of content, very high reliability, ease of working together, creativity and empathic presence.

                                              Co-creating Peaceful & Sustainable Futures

                                              VISUAL EMPATHY IS THE ESSENTIAL SKILL IN MY WORK

                                              EMPATIC LISTENING

                                              Every (potential) assignment starts with a conversation with my client, to ensure I really get the picture of what the visual should convey.

                                              In order to grasp the essence and see the bigger picture, I always start off with a conversation. I want to really understand what is needed and wanted, what the purpose of the work is and what motivates you to request a visualization.

                                              Preferably I also involve my clients in the creation process because you are the content expert, I am the visual expert and together we co-create the best possible result.

                                              VISUAL ATTUNEMENT

                                              The creative process is like a silent empathic conversation between my client, speakers, authors, the audience and my markers and heart.

                                              For as long as I am sketching, drawing, designing, or creating a graphic recording, I do not stop empathising with all the stake holders involved. I must attune myself in order to create a meaningful visual that considers everyone’s perspective, background and needs.

                                              Just like a mediator mediates between different parties.

                                               

                                              INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION EXPERT

                                              Hi, I am Mireille van Bremen. I am a Dutch national and live in Slovenia since 2006, from where I collaborate on projects with people from all over the world.

                                              I value transparency, fairness, peace and wellbeing, and I believe peaceful relationships are the result of how capable we are in listening and valuing each other’s contribution in co-creating the future. This why I create, design and offer products and programs that help us develop and use our visual and emotional intelligence to promote these values. 

                                              My studies at the Willem de Kooning Academy of Art, my years of experience in the fields of graphic design, illustration, graphic recording, visual facilitation training and Nonviolent Communication based coaching, training, and conflict resolution, form the basis of my work and collaborations.

                                              ALL-ROUND

                                              I love to combine my professions as a graphic recorder, (visual) facilitator, trainer, coach, art-director, graphic designer, illustrator and Nonviolent Communication trained conflict coach & mediator.

                                              I work mostly in English, Dutch and Slovene, understand some German, and am very comfortable collaborating with translators and interpreters too. Many projects I work on, are bilingual or are translated to multiple languages.

                                              DIVERSE MEDIA

                                              The projects I work on include visual facilitation, graphic recording, visual summaries, training, workshop & retreat design, online courses & programs, design of reports, brochures, publications, guidebooks, books, chocolate wraps, cards, posters, guidelines, bags, notebooks, handouts, brand identities and style guides.

                                              DECISIVE VALUES

                                              Values that influence my decision making on whether or not to co-create a project are transparency, fairness, equality, awareness of autonomy and interdependence.

                                              DIVERSE LOCATIONS

                                              Where ever my presence is required, I am happy to travel internationally or locally to meet and collaborate in person. Otherwise I enjoy working online or in a hybrid combination.
