Stories and Insights on Arts, Technology, Politics, Life

We're Denise and Stephen Milward, the writers behind Planet Milward—a place where we connect dots between creative work and everyday life. Our paths have woven through roles in technology, music projects and education. Along the way we’ve learned to value clear thinking, patient iteration and collaborative problem‑solving.

Across roles in music education, composition and technology, crafts and travel, we’ve gathered tools, mistakes and methods that we can share to help others do meaningful work.
