My interests are drawing,
sustainability, spending time in "nature" and museums, reading
books and doing crafts such as collages and textile art.
I am fluent in Swiss-German,
German, French and English.
Milena Siobhan Shields
I'm a designer with a master's degree in
Circular Innovation and Sustainability.
Having both a scientific as well as a design background helps me communicate environmental topics with clarity and creativity. I’m open to work on meaningful projects that create positive change, especially in spaces that foster learning and discovery.
