With a background in architecture, Ioana has a great love of design, beautiful objects and, last but not least, table setups and food. She often finds beauty and inspiration in the mundane, depicting places, objects, moments that might otherwise pass under the radar.
She creates bold visuals, anchored with intricate compositions, using bright colors and vibrant texture.
Always striving to solve problems in a creative brief, she sometimes tackles more complex projects that delve into the realm of graphic design, but are always centered around illustration.
