Hi! I am Militza

I grew up in Chaclacayo, Lima - Peru, surrounded by the colors and sounds of nature and a warm community of people.
​
That sense of community and joy from nature has inspired my life and sparked a curiosity that grows every day.
In the last 12+ years, I have worked with multidisciplinary teams from creative agencies, academia, non-profits, United Nations agencies, and the Peruvian Government, using communications as a powerful bridge.
My expertise lies in designing communication solutions for a positive impact on people and our planet and distilling complex information into engaging content.
​
My lived experiences and background in graphic design, branding, communications, and development studies have equipped me to understand the depth and nuances of social issues.​
​
In my work, I constantly learn and advocate for storytelling, intersectionality, inclusive language, and a human-centered approach. In my research, I explore the meaning of popular music in Peru through the voices of young people 🎵.
I am particularly passionate about social justice, sustainable development, gender equality, education, childhood and youth, popular culture and decoloniality, and I aspire to inspire that a better world is possible.
​
As a Peruvian with Andean roots, a Latina, and a woman of color living in the Netherlands, I love connecting with individuals and organizations who believe social change is needed.​
