Tangible transformation for your personal and professional life—powered by neuroscience and creativity.

At Jolyean Creative (pronounced like the iconic Dolly Parton song “Jolene”), we help individuals and organizations move through change with clarity, creativity, and emotional alignment. By blending neuroaesthetics, change psychology, and hands-on visioning tools—like LEGO® Serious Play® and nostalgic objects—we turn abstract goals into tangible strategies for growth.

Whether you're navigating a transition, leading a team, or reimagining what's possible, we help you see it, feel it, and build toward it—with purpose.

Our Services

Personal & Organizational Space Transformation

Your environment isn't just decor—it shapes your emotions, focus, and overall well-being.

Our environments profoundly influence our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being. Leveraging our Aesthetic Transition Model™ (ATM), we guide you through a transformative journey that aligns your physical spaces with your personal or organizational evolution. 

By integrating neuroaesthetic principles & change psychology, we ensure that each space not only reflects beauty, but also fosters healing, creativity, and sustainability.​

Speaking

"How Aesthetics Accelerate Change: The ATM Model for Personal & Professional Growth"

In this thought-provoking and visually engaging keynote, Rhonda introduces the Aesthetic Transition Model™ (ATM)—her five-stage framework that uses beauty, sensory design, and emotional processing to support meaningful transformation.

Audiences will learn:

  • Why traditional change models fall short—and how aesthetics fill the gap

  • How to move from resistance to alignment using sensory cues and creative tools

  • Practical ways to apply the ATM in leadership, life design, and visioning

Ideal for leadership teams, organizations in transition, educators, and professionals committed to sustainable change

These visioning sessions aren’t just about ideas—they’re about embodiment, alignment, and emotional clarity.

Our workshops help you:

  • Visualize with precision

  • Feel connected to your future self

  • Build momentum with aligned action

  • Rhonda’s vision workshops are so many wonderful things! She makes it all so easy, flexible, and FUN. Her dynamic energy and enthusiasm helped me find the right medium, materials, and thought process to approach my project. I cannot recommend her enough!

  • This is exactly what I needed. I didn't want my home to feel like an Instagram account, I need to live in it. Rhonda embraced my maximalist style, my two big hairy dogs who wrestle and cuddle on the furniture, my love of vintage items, and my aversion to buying new. She curated a beautiful space that reflects my lifestyle and values. I never knew that I needed wallpaper with dogs hidden in the print, but now I do!
