Hey there, I'm Milo.
I'm a designer, project manager, and researcher who loves working with people and the products people use. I largely focus on how organizations execute well. My work centers on tracing how a decision moves through operations, technology, and the teams responsible for carrying it forward, and making sure it stays sound at the point of implementation.
At the University of Minnesota College of Design, I support senior leadership on strategic initiatives, including alignment analysis that maps college priorities to university-wide plans and change management for institutional technology adoption. A growing part of that work is designing AI-assisted research and synthesis workflows that turn complex strategic documents into decision support.
I also conduct research with the Human Dimensioning Lab, using 3D scanning and CT imaging to study how protective equipment, such as structural firefighter gloves, fits the human body.
I'm also the founder of Wiley Banting, a patented diabetic gear brand distributed across 30+ states.
Before this role, I spent a decade in multi-site healthcare retail, financial services compliance, and specialty retail operations. I led in a $10M+ retail district, hired and developed 80+ team members across store leadership and technical roles, and built onboarding and training programs that scaled across locations.
