Gabrielle Gononsky is the founder of CultivatED, a design thinking consultancy that helps individuals, teams, and institutions navigate complexity, cultivate connection, and design meaningful lives and communities.
Her work spans K–12 schools, universities, and social and cultural institutions committed to developing leaders, founders, educators, and change-makers. Drawing on over 25 years of experience in education, Gabrielle brings together the disciplines of design thinking, human development, and creative expression to help people move from uncertainty to possibility.
Trained through the Stanford Graduate School of Business and IDEO U, Gabrielle’s approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with empathy, curiosity, and a willingness to experiment. Through coaching, facilitation, and immersive learning experiences, she helps individuals gain clarity, uncover new perspectives, and take intentional action toward lives that feel more connected, aligned, and fulfilling.
Gabrielle believes that we are all designers of our own lives. By approaching challenges with curiosity rather than judgment, and possibility rather than perfection, we can create lives, relationships, and communities that reflect who we are and what matters most.
