Soft Focus is a monthly series by Lana Miller exploring the often-hidden network of collaborators involved in forward-facing projects and promotes the ethos of l’art pour l’art through conversations with various creative forces.

This month’s episode featured guest Miranda Stein.

In her free time, she enjoys volunteering with rabbits at the animal shelter and playing ambient music for them.
