About Milan
I’ve spent my upbringing observing interpersonal dynamics in families and at schools, fascinated by the complexity of individuals. Professionally, I’ve worked with a wide range of “personalities” and team dynamics.
It’s hard to surprise me, nowadays.
As a designer, I’m particularly good at organizing complex and relational challenges both at work and at home. I enjoy helping leaders to build dynamic teams with strong alignment, communication, and trust.
What I’ve done so far
