What we do

Think of us as a creative studio for teams.

Drawing on my background in Design and HR, I consult with companies to help shape better experiences of work. Having spent 15 years operating within young startups, I know a little something about the growing pains that you and your teams are likely facing.

With the cultural groundwork in place, your organization can get ahead of the common pitfalls and operational drag that are harder to correct down the road.

Who we work with

Our sweet spot? Early-stage startups.

We supply the collaborative glue to teams at any stage of development — storming, forming, norming, or performing.

⚠️ Newly forming teams with yet-to-be-defined team operating culture and practices

⚠️ People Teams that are buried in “talent debt”, but now’s not the time to add headcount

⚠️ Companies that have or will experience growing pains from rapidly scaling up (or down)

“Building a resilient culture is about people, the system they operate in, and how the two interact with one another..”

— The Ready

  • “Milan brings a beautiful blend of strategy, creativity, and empathy to her approach. She's a skillful project manager and communicator who I could consistently rely on to take a seedling of an idea and grow it into an inspiring and transformative experience.”

  • “Milan was an instrumental driver in our team culture and people programs. She takes you to the next level with her special ability to think macro while executing on the micro. She thoughtfully revamped our engagement survey by assessing current and future state, doing copious amounts of research, and facilitating many conversations to arrive at a beautiful set of questions that drove home our goals. All the while, being inclusive of all feedback and working styles.”

  • “My experience working with Milan was amazing in so many ways! She is very knowledgeable and experienced in what I was working through in addition to being very easy to talk to about those challenges. As an emerging start-up, the world is at our fingertips and Milan has been there, navigated through, and been successful. I can see where we are going much more clearly with her help.”
