ABOUT MIMI
Mimi Young is a specialist SEO copywriter, creativity facilitator, business operations strategist, and educator on occult studies.
Her 20 years of experience span design, communications, alternative education, esoteric practice, and small business creation and management. Moving from Taiwan to Canada at an early age, and then from neighborhood to neighborhood within metro Vancouver, Mimi responds to change with equal parts creativity, intuition, and discipline. Holding a degree in Communication Design from Emily Carr University and a diploma in Montessori education and emergent curriculum design from MTCBC, Mimi has built, scaled, and sold successful businesses without loans or formal business education. This gives her an insider’s perspective on the intricacies of creative work and managing small to medium-sized enterprises.
Mimi considers her adaptive, alinear career in design, communications, alternative education, wholesale/retail, clean tech, and occult practices an indispensable asset, where her ‘misfit’ qualities—her ability to operate outside industry norms—are a strength, lending originality to what she does.
Serving clients around the globe, Mimi has brought her unique fluidity-meets-structure perspective to her current businesses, Ceremonie and Beyond the Medium, and a wide array of private clients, earning acclaim from the press. Mimi has had the privilege of being a guest on over 55 podcasts, panels, talks, and published a book on tea and Daoist poetry during a 5-week artist residency at Banff Centre for the Arts + Creativity.
