My Story.

As a multifaceted storyteller, Ivana weaves her talents as a writer, producer, and shadow artist to create authentic and transformative narratives across various mediums. Her deep-rooted passion for developing stories has established her as a trusted consultant, collaborating with individuals, production companies, and non-profits seeking to craft compelling narratives that challenge cultural norms and offer fresh perspectives.

Driven by a lifelong curiosity for people and their untold stories, Ivana delves into the depths of human experience. Her unique blend of expertise allows her to navigate the complex landscapes of the psyche, uncovering repressed aspects of the self and integrating them into powerful stories. 

In her pursuit of fostering trust and connection, Ivana founded Storyplace—a thriving social journaling app that nurtures a global, trust-centered community where over 50,000 users share their vulnerable and authentic experiences daily. This platform serves as a safe space for individuals to express themselves and find community, while also providing a helpful tool for personal growth.

Drawing from her diverse background in spirituality, shamanism, psychology, storytelling, and science, Ivana established The Hidden Broccoli — a shadow art company that helps individuals identify the repressed aspects of their psyche and guides them towards healing and integration.

Her work with Storyplace and The Hidden Broccoli is inextricably linked, as both platforms strive to empower individuals to embrace authenticity and build trust within themselves and their communities.

Ivana's life purpose is rooted in rebuilding trust in the world so that communities can thrive and live healthier, safer, and happier lives. All her work reflects her unwavering belief in the power of stories and the importance of creating safe, non-judgmental spaces for people to explore and embrace all facets of themselves and their narratives.
