Milana opens the door to her world, revealing how embracing both gratitude and resilience paves the way for success in the arts, and why a good laugh might just be the most underrated tool in a creative's kit.

Dive headfirst into the transformative power of collaborative leadership, a theme that resonates throughout our chat with Milana. She unravels her experiences managing teams on ad campaigns, allowing us to appreciate the finesse required to marry brand identity with captivating narratives.
