YIMI (MILYA) IZEL
FOUNDER & OWNER
Born in Brooklyn and raised in the Bronx, Yimi is a multidisciplinary artist with a desire to connect, heal and inspire others.
In her early years, she started as illustrator and segued into modeling and bartending as she entered into college. After a few years of combining art, fashion, and hospitality she got inspired to be more purposeful with her creativity and career.
Yimi began participating in community activism and art murals in 2016, and saw that her true passion lied in utilizing art as a tool to unite and heal. As she continued to support other creatives and community events, she took it upon herself to create her own lane and company.
In 2017 she conjured the idea to start a collective that focused on art, mental health, and community. “Creative Conscientious Collective” was formed with the intention of talented artists coming together to build the groundwork for a fun, creative and mentally secure society.
