It’s time for one of our favorite things: It’s Q&A time with our monthly speaker. Ivana has had a pretty impressive career (see our previous post with her bio), and we’re so lucky she’s back in Detroit, telling our stories. Please read our Q&A and join us on Friday at Red Bull House of Art at 8:30. It’s gonna be good!
Why Detroit? What keeps you inspired here?
The unique position the city is in – a city with tons of potential, people beginning to once again invent themselves and communities driving for unity. Plus it’s just cool. It’s a cool place to live.
What is your favorite project you’ve ever worked on? What would be your dream project?
I’ve been very lucky to have had quite a few, both large and small scale projects I worked on.
My dream project is Detroitisit.com! That’s why I’m committed to it!
My second dream project - if I’m allowed two - is having an animal sanctuary.
What do you do when you feel creatively stuck?
Start doing research online and read sites based on topics such as design, art, fashion, literature, life. These are a few good ones:

Listening to people way smarter than you think you are always helps.
If all else fails, get out into nature. There’s always a remedy in organic forms, fresh scents and little discoveries.
Who is another creative person / organization in Detroit that we need to know about?
There’s so many! Where to start!
