Hi! I’m Milena — but everyone calls me Mile. I’m a Colombian illustrator and art director, now drawing from Ontario, Canada. I grew up creatively in advertising agencies, where I spent years bringing big brands to life with characters, campaigns, a lot of sketches and a few too many late nights.

These days I create characters with big personalities and happy colors — the kind that make people smile. When I’m not drawing, you’ll probably find me squishing clay into tiny creatures or hanging out with my cats and ferrets, my favorite (and noisiest) muses. Got a story that needs characters? Let’s make something fun together!
