We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Mi & Mille Escapes a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Mi & Mille, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?
Other than our mission, one of the most important things to us when creating our company was choosing the right name. We wanted to make sure it was catchy enough to grab attention but also have meaning to us.
Ever since we were young, our parents have given us many kinds of nicknames. Some could be categorized as cute, others were a mix of letters that just sounded right in the moment. The weird thing was that no matter which nickname we were given, my sister and I always knew who was being called.
With that being said, our nicknames, no matter how odd they may have been, have always been a part of where we came from and even our family. Not only that but being exposed to traveling at a young age, we noticed how much we wanted to escape from our regular lives every once in a while, so why not turn that into something bigger?
That’s what we wanted to incorporate with this business. We decided to combine two of our nicknames as well as our love for creating and escaping things that weren’t normal in our daily lives.
From there we got Mi & Mille Escapes! We always like to have everyone guess who’s who before revealing the right answer, not only does that keep people on their toes but it’s also a good story to tell.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
We are Mi & Mille Escapes. We don’t want to be categorized specifically for doing one thing, we want to be able to be a part of anything that our consumers imagine.
Not everybody has the privilege of being able to travel and get to know different places. Whether it’s around the world or just locally we understand how being able to see and understand other parts of where we live is something we can’t take for granted.
Not only that but we know how it feels like to be in a situation where you don’t even know where to begin when planning a trip. From coming up with the money, from where to book, all the way to what you should pack based on the environment. That’s what we want to help people with. We want to share how we see the world through our eyes and maybe even help others to do the same in any way they can.
Being able to see the world and learn about everything that may be happening, will bring awareness and hopefully encourage others to help and even enjoy themselves a little more. I don’t want to say that there aren’t other types of companies that do the same out there but one thing that sets us apart is our story about how we got to where we are today.
That is what we are most proud of when it comes to Mi & Mille, something that started out just as a nickname when we were younger, is now something being used for many purposes.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
What’s most rewarding is being able to be a different kind of person in everybodys mind. We want to help people in any way that they would like so being able to understand others and connect in any way is what we yearn for.
Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.
Nothing is ever a straight line! With that being said, we highly recommend to never getting comfortable in what you’re doing or even with the results you’ve gotten when it comes to your work.
Social media these days can be an unbalanced platform so what works one day, may not work the next. You can be the most searched one day and have zero searches the next. That is why you can never settle. Always strive to do better than you did the day before even if it’s by one view or like.
