#224 - Michelle G.
Episode description
This week I’m talking to Michelle, an animator and 3D artist based in Malta—one of the most population-dense places in Europe. After discovering her misophonia and realizing how Malta's constant noise amplified her struggles, Michelle channeled her experience into an immersive art project. Working with a local focus group of people with misophonia, she created a short animated film designed to let others experience what we go through—complete with trigger sounds and unsettling visuals using a unique printing technique called Risograph. The project opens at a gallery in Malta and will eventually hit the film festival circuit. We also talk about her ADHD diagnosis, how moving to quiet Denmark gave her relief, and what it's like navigating misophonia on a tiny, crowded island.
