Jacqueline has synesthesia, a neurological condition in which perceptual information leads to the simultaneous stimulation of several senses. Among the 60 to 80 subtypes of synesthesia, she experiences chromesthesia, which prompts her to see colours in sounds. As one of the estimated 4% of the population who has some form of synesthesia, Jacqueline joins the likes of Vincent Van Gogh and Wassily Kandinsky, whose creative impulses art historians have attributed to the perceptual phenomenon. Drawing inspiration from her synesthetic visions, Jacqueline’s creative process embraces both music and visible forms. Influenced by the euphonic tones, rhythms, and tempos that she hears, Jacqueline delivers visual symphonies: as colourful touches form dynamic patterns and stimulating shapes, the stirring emotions in music materialise in her designs.

Intuition regarding aural and visual relevance shapes Jacqueline’s work as a synesthetic spatial designer. Bringing together texture, detail, and the personal touch, Jacqueline’s distinctive commissions in spatial design and lifestyle projects are inspired by profound introspection and a heightened consideration of the sounds encompassed in the environment. Her artistry and sensitivity give rise to her appreciation of how acoustic conditions, through association with components such as colour and shape, may enhance the character of physical spaces. From lighting to patterning, her designs deliver a compelling sense of process in their layers and a dynamic impression of action in their positioning.
