HI! I'M ILANA...
...with an I, rhymes with iguana, (as I've been reminded since pre-school and have used as a concept to design this entire site...was between that and 'a llama'). I'm currently a freelance CD/AD. Most recently, 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!
