Honest. Creative. No Gatekeeping
What this is and why it exists
Lumos Candor Creative is for the entrepreneurs doing the absolute most with the absolute least.
No team, no budget, maybe not even a clue what a “vector file” is, just vision, Wi-Fi, and enough audacity to build something real.
We start with social media, strategy, content, and showing up online in a way that makes sense.
What’s coming next? Tools, templates, and shortcuts to help you build a brand that sticks.
No gatekeeping. Ever.
Hi, I am Milena
Creative brand consultant, strategist, and professional figure-it-out-er.
I built my first brand with YouTube tutorials, Google rabbit holes, too much coffee and a hand-drawn logo I had to digitize myself.
Here’s what I know works: showing up online with confidence and clarity, no acting, no pretending, just strategy that fits who you actually are.
Turns out, being yourself is the strategy.
Not to brag, but...
