ABOUT – ME

ABOUT – ME

Hi, I’m Mia and I believe one of my missions in this lifetime is to create and inspire. Always somewhat bored by the ordinary, I have explored various passions throughout the years that when combined create a powerful package and have helped me realize that being multifaceted is a gift I want to share with others.

Welcome to my Jungle of Ideas.

I am a free spirit with big dreams who is constantly seeking deeper meaning and underst anding. My whole life I’ve been gravitating towards the arts, always crafting and creating – physical and digital but most importantly visual.

Creative self expression is a big part of who I am and helps me find calm and peace in our wild world. It's through creation that I find my flow, where I can truly be present. My multifaceted nature rarely follows the ordinary and mundane. As someone with a Gemini moon, I thrive on change, finding inspiration in new environments. That's why I chose to create my own path, building a life where I can freely pursue and blend my passions, exploring diverse roles and projects.

OVER THE YEARS â€Ļ

I’ve moved from digital product design into visual communication, branding, and creative direction. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with teams of all sizes, from agencies and startups to larger companies and independent clients – eventually co-founding a studio where design, strategy, and storytelling come together.
