The Art of Neurodivergence: In Conversation with Quinne

00:00

49:27

In this episode of the Wise Up podcast, I speak with Quinne, an artist and UX researcher living in Northern California.

Quinn shares her deep connection with animals, particularly cats and horses, and how these relationships inspire her creative process. We explore the idea of staying awake while shifting old patterns and mindsets, and how this conscious transformation is reflected in Quinne’s artwork, where horses powerfully embody emotion as energy in motion.

The conversation touches on neurodivergence, with Quinn sharing her experience of being diagnosed with autism later in life. We reflect on our shared and unique experiences navigating the world as neurodivergent individuals, offering insights into how we each approach work, connection, and creativity on the spectrum.
