In this inspiring and thoughtful conversation, Pam Vale sits down with illustrator and digital artist Milena Milak to talk about creativity, neurodivergence, and the freedom of embracing both analog and digital tools.

They discuss the value of sketchbooks, overcoming perfectionism, and the accessibility of digital art for hobbyists.

Milena shares how she transitioned from UX design to children’s book illustration, how Procreate and Notion support her process, and why done is always better than perfect.

If you’ve ever wondered how to reconnect with creativity on your own terms, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

* Milena believes in the power of neurodivergent thinking.

* She encourages exploring materials without pressure.

* Digital art is more accessible than many think.
