An internationally recognized author, researcher, whole systems thought leader and creative coach, GGI Founder & “Chief Brainiac,” Dr. G. has dedicated her life long energies to advancing the art & neuroscience of creative problem-solving. As a respected arts & design professional whose own passionate curiosity necessitated inquiry into comparative visual, contemplative and scientific cultures, she inspires joint ventures of applied neuroscience and “in the field,” “mindful” design research to develop real time and future focused design thinking to solving complex and simple problems. A dynamic energizer of holistic systems analysis, a pioneer in new neuro-somatic learning systems and an advocate of contemplative, “brain smart/body wise” practice in business & education, Dr. G. developed GGI as a neuro-consulting/design think tank to encourage 21st century methods of creative learning, living and leadership.

Visionary Leadership?: Inventive and innovative, Dr. G. has kickstarted the practice of mindful breathing practice in futurist communities from the TED satellite to Humanity + Summit. Her membership with The NeuroLeadership Institute and Mindshare.la communities speaks to her avant garde spirit driven to rethink design education, entrepreneurialism and leadership from the standpoint of applied neuroscience. Her continued Adjunct Prof affiliation with Art Center College of Design has enabled her to design curriculum dealing with future biotech, applied neuroscience and imagining new reality zones for adaptive “bodies in space.” Recognized for her impassioned editorials on neuro-smart and conscious creativity concerns, Dr. G. serves as an advisor to The Lifeboat Foundation, and the C3 immersive tech design community. A Fulbright scholar to Taiwan/China and a former AsiaPacific researcher, Dr. G. brings to “creativity and innovator DNA” discussions, added insight on cross-cultural perspectives and global futures.

Innovation/Education Interests? Dr. G. can be counted among the early adopters, innovators and critical thinkers to use embodied, “attention and awareness” training or contemplative/mindful practices to creative problem solve. Motored by voracious curiosity yet restrained by skepticism, she researched ground-breaking, creative & performing arts practices shaped by Asian meditative traditions, completing her doctoral dissertation at The Claremont Graduate University. The seed of research interest was first planted in her UCLA master’s dance studies program — a state of the art department that enabled both studio time with internationally recognized AsiaPacific performers and somatic pioneers and lab time with reknown educational researchers testing a new paradigm of integrated movement, imagination and neuro-cognition studies. Today, Dr. G. is focused on gathering neuroaesthetic/neurosomatic research using somatic intelligence tracking technologies or S.I.T.T™ — GGI‘s innovative brand of embodied, neuro-aware, mindfulness training.
