CREATIVE DIRECTOR | DENVER, COLORADO
Shaping brands
people remember
Hi, I’m Milan. I get to do what I’ve loved since my first Atari: create. Build brands. Make work that moves people. And help other creatives grow and do work they’re proud of.
❋
Logic & Magic
People need to understand what a product can do for them. They also need a reason to care.
I believe that starts with understanding people and what matters to them. Design and storytelling help turn that understanding into a brand they connect with, remember, and choose.
That’s the kind of work I love: building brands with heart that help businesses grow.
A few brands I’ve worked with

Red Canary — Leading a brand forward
Leading a refresh that balanced a bolder, simpler identity with the familiar character customers already knew.
