Yana Frank (known online as Miu Mau) was born in 1972 in Dushanbe, USSR into a family of graphic artists. In 1990, she moved to Berlin, where she worked as a graphic designer and was later appointed Creative Director of a large design firm. After suffering from a serious illness in 2003, she decided to form her own approach to managing the creative process as a working mother - redistributing her time, skills and energy.
