Nika Brunet Milunovic

I’m Nika, the founder of Calm Nest Collective 👋
After 7 years in corporate and 11+ years in the events world, running everything from international festivals to sustainability programmes, I realised something big was missing: spaces that actually supported wellbeing, neurodiversity, and real human needs.
So I founded Calm Nest Collective, a consultancy and design studio that creates sensory-friendly spaces and inclusive sustainability strategies for events, offices, and public venues. Think quiet rooms at conferences, calm corners in workplaces, and support for event organisers who want to do better but aren’t sure where to start.
I’m otherwise a social worker, currently also pursuing a PhD on mental health and neurodiversity in the events industry, host a podcast called Pink Nest, and mentor people (and students) in events and early-stage founders trying to build purpose-led businesses without burning out.
My mission is simple: to make events, workplaces and public spaces a little calmer, kinder, and more inclusive.
