Psychology of Creativity

Saskia Wheeler is a consultant in neuroaesthetics and wellbeing, exploring how design shapes the brain, emotional health, and human experience. Her work blends neuroscience, psychology, and sensory design to help create environments and experiences that foster calm, connection, and psychological safety. From studying an MA in Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin studying sensory experience, aesthetics and neurophilosophy to MSc at Goldsmiths in Psychology of the Arts, Neuroaesthetics and Creativity, her work balances an arts based approach with scientific insight in design. Saskia now works to design brands, experiences, and wellbeing programmes grounded in interdisciplinary science. She has collaborated with creative teams such as Mother Design and YourStudio, and has received design awards for translating neuroscience into design for human-centred spaces and products. Whilst grounded in scientific research, her approach is deeply attuned to how people feel and connect in the spaces around them.
