Meet the Designer

Hey, I'm Mila

the creative soul behind Mijosurf

I am the designer behind Mijosurf – and above all: a passionate artist, wing foil fanatic, plant lover, cat petterer, fitness fan, smoothie bowl pro, and almost always with paint on my fingers. Art is my everyday life, my balance, my expression—and it's been that way for as long as I can remember. Only, back then, this expression was a bit... wilder. I actually took my first creative steps with graffiti—my artist name back then was Spuh (yes, really—just don't ask 😄). Today, my style is a bit cleaner, but that energy from back then has remained.

Drawing is my home

What do I love about my job? Everything. I'm a freelance digital artist—and for as long as I can remember, that's been clear to me somewhere deep down. I work every day with my iPad, accompanied by good music, lots of tea (or coffee, depending on how I feel that day), and usually my cat, who ostentatiously lies down on my keyboard when things get serious.

Sketching? I rarely do it. When an idea strikes me, I jump right in. I think while drawing, I feel while drawing—it's like a kind of meditation for me. And honestly, I often have to remind myself to get up sometimes. Drawing is addictive—in a good way.

From nutritional tables to color palettes

This might surprise you: I have a bachelor's degree in clinical nutrition. But honestly, I knew halfway through my studies that my passion lay elsewhere. I stuck with it anyway – and I'm glad I did! Because, as absurd as it may sound, a little vegetable knowledge can never hurt. Today, I love cooking healthy meals, creating new recipes, and knowing exactly what's good for my body. Sometimes a well-seasoned roasted vegetable feels almost as fulfilling as a finished poster design.

Movement is my battery

When I'm not drawing, you'll almost certainly find me exercising—at the gym, on the yoga mat, or doing Pilates. I love to move. It resets me, recharges me, and keeps me balanced—which is super important when you're immersed in the creative tunnel universe for many hours at a time (believe me, it happens more often than I'd like).

My heart beats for wind & waves

And then there's my absolute love: wing foiling. Anyone who's experienced it knows what I'm talking about. That feeling of gliding over the water, the wind in your hand, the rush, the tingling sensation – that's real life for me. We're lucky enough to live just 30 minutes from our home spot in Ool near Roermond. My absolute favorite setup: a 4-person wing, an 1800 wing, and my 90L board. It makes me feel free like rarely before. Wing foiling pushes me to my limits—but that's exactly what I love. Sometimes I fly over the water, sometimes I fall in. And both feel good.

I live with my husband, Joscha, in a quiet village surrounded by forests, lakes, a wild garden, and—most importantly—our little cat (aka the boss of the house). Here I find peace. Inspiration. Pure nature. And that's exactly what flows into my art—sometimes visibly, sometimes between the lines.

If you ever see a poster of ours that makes you feel a little wanderlust or discover a hoodie that screams sea – then you know: that was me. Here you'll find my very own personal favorite collection—featuring my current favorites from our collection. Inspired by the wind, the water, and everything that makes life a little bit wilder.
