about

For over ten years, I have been immersed in the alchemy and art of drum making. Bringing the vast, mystical voices of these ancient instruments into the world, and working with the materials of the earth, brings me great joy. Raised in a German-American family in Berlin, I completed my MA in Fashion and Industrial Design at the University of the Arts Berlin and Kunsthochschule Weißensee, before working as a designer and artist and creating interdisciplinary performance works in collaboration with cultural festivals.

Alongside my artistic practice, I was fortunate to learn from inspiring Indigenous artists, healers, and teachers from North America. I spent several years in intensive training and apprenticeship with them, which profoundly shaped my understanding of art, traditional medicine knowledge, and ritual practice. Their guidance and knowledge have had a profound impact on my work, adding depth and dimension to my understanding of art and healing.
I am committed to creating purposeful art  and authentic beauty, and to fostering vibrant spaces for transformation and collaboration.

‚There are hardly any words for how good I feel after the coaching session, and I am already looking forward to the next one. Thank you, Milena.‚

'My drum is so beautiful, and the sound is incredible. I completely fell in love with it. A beautifully birthed piece of medicine.'
