We're building new ways to see, understand and share what it means to be human.
Make Your Mind explores what people carry inside and rarely say out loud.
Through exhibitions, podcasts and interactive experiences, we use art, psychology and AI to look at how people think, feel, remember and make meaning.
We’re interested in what changes when private experience becomes visible, shared and better understood.
At its core, the project is about curiosity, reflection and connection.
current projects.
shape of thoughts exhibition
Make Your Mind’s first exhibition, exploring the hidden parts of human experience through writing, projection mapping, AI, sound and collective participation. Visitors contribute reflections on themes like regret, secrecy, identity, hope and creative expression, turning private thoughts into public artworks and into the future, shared research.
make your mind podcast
The podcast features conversations with psychologists, researchers, philosophers and practitioners exploring the inner life. Episodes cover themes like emotional sensitivity, schema therapy, limerence, hope theory, identity, personality and behaviour change.
constellations of self
Constellations of Self is an interactive research and visualisation platform that maps aspects of human psychology into navigable digital space. It explores personality, sensitivity, identity, hopes, regrets and emotional patterns through reflective prompts and data visualisation.

Jess Leondiou
Founder & director
Jess Leondiou is the founder and director of Make Your Mind.
She has been working as a founder since her early twenties, building brands, digital products and creative systems for clients across Australia and Berlin, including Investitionsbank Berlin, Lexus, Hitfox and Applift.
Make Your Mind brings together her background in branding, technology, data visualisation and reflective practice. It grew from a long-running fascination with internal worlds: how people think, feel, remember, make meaning, and understand themselves.
In 2020, Jess founded Archleys, a journaling and stationery brand stocked at MONA and the Queensland Art Gallery. Archleys explored how self-reflection could become something tangible, beautifully designed and shared. Make Your Mind extends that question into art, AI and data: how can technology help us see ourselves and each other more clearly?
Jess has presented work at the University of Queensland, leads community for Women in AI Melbourne, and built the Constellations of Self platform herself.
