Ioan in a few words
It's been my passion for the last fifteen years or so to come up with a new generation of products - products that ignite our imagination and make us better and stronger in any way. This passion has led me to invent unsuspected ways for brands to connect with existing and new consumers and change the way people think, feel, and do.
Ultimately, I believe that the medium is secondary to the strength of the story it tells.
My expertise has helped teams and organizations across the US and Europe achieve optimal, End-to-End user-centric approaches in their innovation processes and establish a solid foundation for design strategies.
