Millie
In 2020, Millie was working as a children’s book illustrator when she had the idea for a business built around adult colouring books. She wanted to make something that could support mental health while raising awareness about social issues.
After a year of planning, Calm Over Chaos was born in January 2021. For years, she packed every order from her tiny bedroom, growing a loyal community online. As the brand evolved, she began developing her own colouring tools, including the now-viral Calm Over Chaos glitter pens, known for their creamy ink and extra sparkle, alongside thoughtfully curated collections designed to make non-screen time feel even more joyful.
Today, Calm Over Chaos has grown into a collection of creative tools, all designed by Millie with the same mission - to bring a little calm to the chaos of everyday life.
Eve
Our customer service Queen, Eve and Millie met when they worked in hospitality together in their early 20s. As Calm Over Chaos grew and Millie began to struggle to run it by herself, Eve was always ready to step in and help with all aspects (packing orders, ordering stock, figuring out logistics, being in LIVEs, - she's truly a key part of the business). Eve has over 10 years experience in customer service and a passion for making sure we as a business can give the best service possible. She also loves cats a lot :)
Rob
Born in the UK, raised in New Zealand. Before meeting Millie, Rob was a Teacher of Physical Education for 3 years in New Zealand and 1 year in England. After having a keen interest in talking business with Millie, they discussed the exciting possibility of him joining Calm Over Chaos permanently.
Now, Rob works behind the scenes on much of the operational and technological side of the business, and absolutely loves what he does. From streamlining systems to strengthening the foundations of Calm Over Chaos, he plays a huge role in keeping everything running smoothly. He also enjoys creating fun activities and riddles for customers to dive into from time to time - especially within the Boredom Busters range.👍
