About Mileena

As a designer, my goal is to keep developing my skills by creating spaces that are adaptive, immersive, and meaningful to the communities they serve. I approach design with a curious mindset, seeing each project as an opportunity to discover new connections between technology, nature, and human experience. My work is imaginative yet detail-oriented, ensuring that concepts are both innovative and achievable. 

I see myself as an empathetic and reflective professional. One who values listening as much as creating because I think it’s important to get feedback from those who will be occupying the spaces I design. While collaborating plays a small part in my process through shared ideas, I believe the strongest ideas come from research and understanding the community you’re designing within. I am influenced by designers who are fearless in their inventiveness while maintaining a sense of purpose, applying their skills to solve practical problems and encourage creativity. I wish to work on developing these traits more in myself. In the future, I envision myself working in residential, hospitality, and commercial settings where design can promote flexibility and connection. I aim to keep developing a creative, progressive practice that is sensitive to the needs of both people and the environment, with accessibility in mind.
