Driven to create through necessity, Mills's work straddles cross-cultural history and personal memory with a focus on materiality and sustainability wherever possible. Mills looks to engage viewers through multi-sensory activation and installations. Their pieces are designed to foster changes in the audiences' conditioned responses using material and conceptual play. Mills uses design and material development processes to create works that are adaptable and approachable.

          Mills's growth arises through their exploration and expansion of blackness, imposed gender, and queerness. These factors lead the artist to create works that examine societal conditions of hegemony, which may be erased, uncovered, or hyper-visualized then critiqued.  The audience is offered approaches that bridge gaps between haptic and cerebral presentations through material contrasts, color, and texture. Where musicians create frisson to create sonic depth: Mills utilizes textures, scent, and color to establish mood and theme. Additionally, Mills is eager to create pieces that envision the utility of waste; in doing so, they hope to inspire the viewer to utilize their own waste creatively through alternative approaches.
