I'm Ilana - I'm currently a freelance CD/AD taking projects in NYC and remote. Before going freelance I was full time as a CD at 360i, and before that a senior creative at 72andSunny and GREY.
I grew up in Cleveland, which has tortured me from a sports perspective (big sports fan!) but inspired me because it is in Ohio, the state that has sent more people to space than any other. I plan to add to that number someday. Thanks for stopping by!

WORKED ON
I've worked on just about every type of brand out there - spirits, sports, cars, sports cars, regular cars, fast food, slightly slower food, beer, tech, telecom, health, non-profits, CPG, new biz, old biz, biz2biz...you name it, I've probably had to think about it at some point.
LEARNED AT
THE CREATIVE CIRCUS, ATLANTA
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, MADISON
Growing up my parents had us pose for the most absurd holiday cards.
I provided a sample here for your entertainment.
