(mil-you)
We believe the environment, or “milieu”, you grow in significantly impacts who you become. Founded in 2020, MILLU’s mission is to create safe spaces through play where intergenerational wisdom can be shared.
We started with a simple idea: create more experiences for the child/inner child to play. Our first kits helped families connect by exploring their superpowers and strengths. Since then, MILLU has expanded to schools, school districts, and out-of-school-time programs across the nation, creating meaningful experiences that empower communities to grow together.
Our core values define how we treat both others and ourselves. At MILLU, we care not just about the goal but even more about how we achieve it.
Embrace Uniqueness
We are our strongest when each person can embrace, cultivate, and bring their unique strengths at the highest level. Our differences are superpowers that make us a better SuperCrew.
We strive to act in honesty and transparency, ensuring that every solution we craft is in the benefit of our team, partners, and customers.
Rather than being stuck on one idea, we first empathize, define, ideate multiple prototypes, test them, and move forward with the best option.
Lead with Compassion
We strive to deeply understand problems before rushing to solve them. We intentionally connect on a human level before anything else.
We operate in healthy life rhythms that allow our team and partners to flourish. We set healthy boundaries, honoring our limitations to make room for joy and sustainable productivity on and off the clock.
We believe in the power of co-creation, that no single person has all the answers, but that we can create something far better when we team up, rather than stay in silos.
Why we started MILLU
Growing up, Sena often reflected on life’s deeper meanings and our collective roles in society. She spent her 20’s leading humanitarian efforts in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, driven by a commitment to understand and address global challenges collaboratively. A creative problem solver and passionate advocate for human-centered design, Sena she combines her love for culture-shaping solutions with a commitment to nurturing character development across ages.
Sarah is a marketer, designer, and creative operator with a background at companies like Nintendo and Quizlet, where she discovered how gamification and innovative tools can transform learning. Her passion for bridging generations through education led her to co-found MILLU, where she merges tech and tradition to design meaningful, impact-driven learning experiences. Sarah thrives at the intersection of systems and storytelling—bringing people together to co-create, building joyful operations, and championing entrepreneurship grounded in healthy rhythms. You can often find her with her Nintendo Switch in hand or dreaming up new ways to make work more human and fun.
Together with our MILLU team, Sena and Sarah envision a world where emotional intelligence and personal/community growth tools are accessible to all, empowering individuals to lead lives of purpose and connection.
We exist thanks to the love of our community and our shared mission. Explore our kits, participate in our workshops, and contribute to a movement that's reshaping the future of emotional literacy and connection.
Together, let's reconnect the world with those who’ll shape it future!
