Hi there, I’m Iulia.

My work so far has been about alchemizing complex circular economy strategies and concepts into engaging campaigns — making big ideas accessible and connecting them with the right audiences through the right channels.

I am experienced in the worlds of sustainability and the circular economy, but at the heart of it, I’m just passionate about good storytelling and meaningful change.

After 15+ years of studying and working in the UK, the Netherlands, and Chile, I’m now based in Romania, my home country. My work and dedication to building meaningful connections keep me engaged with people around the world — something I truly enjoy.

When I’m not working or volunteering, you’ll probably find me in nature: hiking, practicing yoga, reading, or capturing moments through my camera. As a meditation teacher, I value both movement and stillness — finding the balance between curiosity and presence.

This space is where my love for storytelling, creating positive impact, and connecting with others come together. Nice to meet you!

Let’s connect and create something meaningful together.

I love shaping stories, finding clarity in complex ideas, and (re)connecting people to themselves, to nature, to what truly matters.

Throughout the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with some of the world’s most influential purpose-driven brands, visionary innovators, and solutions-focused NGOs.
