Designing Inclusive, Sensory-Friendly Events for a Calmer Future with Nika Brunet Milunović
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if events, festivals, and workplaces were designed to support human wellbeing first?
In this episode of Pink Nest, host Nika Brunet Milunović explores the future of inclusive, sensory-friendly, and sustainable event design, drawing on over a decade of experience in international festivals and sustainability programmes.
Nika is a social worker, MBA graduate, and PhD candidate researching mental health and neurodiversity in events. After more than 11 years working in large-scale international festival environments and corporate sustainability, she made a bold shift away from traditional industry structures to focus on creating kinder, more accessible spaces for all.
This conversation dives into:
- Why traditional event environments can exclude neurodivergent and sensitive audiences
- The importance of sensory-friendly and inclusive design in public spaces
- How mental health and neurodiversity should shape the future of events
- Lessons from managing international festivals and sustainability programmes
- The shift from corporate event culture to human-centred design
- Building calmer conferences and more accessible workplaces
- Supporting early-stage founders and mentoring future event leaders
- How sustainability and wellbeing intersect in live experiences
Through her work, Nika champions a new approach to events — one that prioritises calm, accessibility, and genuine human needs over pressure and overstimulation. Her mission is to help reshape how we design public spaces so they are inclusive, sustainable, and supportive for everyone.
Whether you work in events, culture, festivals, or leadership, this episode offers a powerful rethink of how environments are built — and who they are built for.
