Brenda Milis

As a Creative Director and Content Strategist, I've built a reputation for turning creative, cultural, and technological shifts into actionable insights that drive business impact. I use research insights to manage photography shoots, produce executive keynotes, and shape content marketing and sales narratives across a company-wide framework, all in service of an always evolving brand story.

Before working at Adobe, I served as the Executive Director of Photography at Refinery29, managing both the Editorial and Advertising photo departments, creating original Editorial, Branded and Social content.

Among other brands and publications I have worked for are WSJ magazine, Vox, Bloomberg Pursuits, Bloomberg Markets, Time magazine, Marie Claire, Men's Health and Outside magazine as well as launching and serving as the founding photo editor of the Condé Nast site, Style.com

Shoots I have produced and directed have been honored by The Clio Awards, The Webby Awards, American Photography, Photo District News, and The Society of Publication Designers. In 2018, Graphic Design USA included me on its list of "Creatives to Watch."

Currently, I am also serving as the founding Photo Director of the print magazine and online platform, "Cuqui" for teens.
