In a Nut Shell
I prep meticulously to achieve perfectly run production and problem solve any obstacle that might arise on location.

I am known for never saying “no”. There is a solution to everything, and I pride myself in finding it. It’s that challenge that keeps me coming back after 15 years. Problem solver is simply who I am.

But what truly sets me apart on the set is my warmth and sense of humour. I will remember client’s birthday, your pet’s name and make sure you have breakfast in the van if you overslept. I pay attention to all these human details to make your shoot not just effortless but memorable.

What Do People Who Have Worked with Ilona Want You To Know About Her?

Megan Williams – VP, Creative Director at BBDO New York

There are people who do the job, and there are people who give it all they’ve got. The latter is Ilona. She isn’t just an Art Producer. She’s a partner in creating the strongest end result for clients, agency and also for herself – if she’s producing, you can be sure the work will be done to the highest standard. Ilona brings talent, experience, knowledge, business acumen and a positive outlook to every assignment she produces. No matter the challenge, she finds the solution, and always with great style, finesse and her signature dry wit. Ilona’s keen eye and creative instinct takes good work to extraordinary places. After a decade of working together, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Jill Applebaum – Chief Creative Officer at Public, Inc.

Ilona can be relied upon to consistently blow your mind. Her exquisite taste and passion for ideas make her a force to be reckoned with. There have been many occasions where due to budget or time constraints we thought we’d be forced to settle but not when Ilona is around. She smiles in the face of a challenge and delivers above and beyond every single time. She is a pleasure to have on the team

Cesar Finamori – Creative Director and Art Director

Ilona is great. She makes it happen, no matter what.
We work together in small budget productions and big budget productions, with new talents and star photographers, she is always exited about.
She has everything under control.
Beside that, she is such a character, a great person to have around you.
She is tall, good looking, funny and kind.
If you want to hire her, don’t do it. I will kill you.
