With a background in architecture, Ioana has a deep appreciation for design, crafted details, and the beauty in everyday moments. Her work is rooted in storytelling, capturing places, objects, and fleeting scenes that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Through illustration and animation, she creates bold, layered visuals with rich textures and intricate compositions, often evoking a tactile, analog feel. By experimenting with multiple frames, she brings movement and depth to her work, crafting immersive experiences that invite engagement.
Beyond illustration and animation, Ioana takes on graphic design projects that intertwine with her visual storytelling. From branding and editorial design to exhibition and festival visuals, Ioana has worked across cultural, educational, commercial, and hospitality sectors, shaping compelling narratives through design.
