As a visual learner, Laura grew up with a passion for creative design. After high school, she moved to Europe where she developed a deep appreciation for old world architecture. Although design was of natural interest to Laura, upon returning to Canada she followed the social pressures to attend university and went on to complete her Masters in Applied Behavioural Analysis, later obtaining a job in the field. During this time Laura had designed and remodeled two homes with her partner, Mike. After the birth of their daughter, Mila, Laura ultimately decided to follow her passion for design and join Mike in growing the business, becoming Mila & Co’s lead designer.
