Issued For Construction ID: Gabrielle Kozhukh-Joo - Mindwell Design

Gabrielle Kozhukh-Joo is the founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Mindwell Design, a Toronto based interior design studio recognized as the first neuroaesthetic design firm in Canada and the United States. She was born and raised in North York, Ontario, the daughter of Ukrainian immigrant parents who came to Canada in 1990. Her mother ran multiple small businesses, including a home daycare, while her father was working in the bakery business and later transitioned into construction, renovation, and custom building, which later influenced her brother's own move into the construction industry. Gabrielle competed in gymnastics from age four through nine, then trained competitively in martial arts for over a decade, traveling to national level competitions across the United States. She speaks English, French and Russian. She studied Environmental Studies with a focus on Urban and Regional Planning at York University, where she shifted her concentration toward green building. During and after her studies she earned her Net Zero certification and her LEED AP for Building Design and Construction. Early in her career she worked in residential solar sales, rising to inside sales manager, then moved into talent acquisition for construction and development executives before launching Mindwell Design. While on maternity leave with her first child, Gabrielle completed her interior design diploma through the Interior Design Institute of Canada and earned her WELL AP and Science in Design certifications. She also holds a certified coaching credential. Mindwell Design specializes in renovation and full scope residential interiors that blend neuroscience, sustainability and wellness, primarily serving clients across Toronto including Midtown, Etobicoke and Thornhill, with openness to projects across North America. Gabrielle and her team are developing a new applied neuroaesthetics certification for the design and building trades. She frequently speaks at industry conferences and panels, including the Interior Design Show in Toronto. Gabrielle lives in the Toronto area with her husband Marcus and their two children. ⁠⁠Mindwell Design⁠⁠ (https://mindwelldesign.com/) Next Release: Kregg Fordyce - StudioDEEP (https://studiodeep.ca/) Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://caplans.ca/) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://thedoors4u.com/⁠) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquanta Pools⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://aquanta.ca) To connect with our sponsors, email me: [email protected] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction (www.issuedforconstruction.ca)
