Ilana begun her career as a public speaker and motivational speaker in communities and schools. She served the local community in areas wherever there was a lack or need that was unresolved.

Ilana writes poetry, speeches, songs, novels, novellas, website content, Ebooks, and even wedding vows.

Ilana's creative approach is —no matter the genre—is to find points of tension behind the ideas she's been assigned or imagined. She does several iterations on each genre and usually ends up refining the one she finds most challenging.

For Ilana, "Creativity isn’t about boundaries, but rather, a way to arrest the audience. It’s a way to plant a little bit of desire in their hearts; a yearning to turn the page and learn more about the idea. Ultimately, it’s about creating memorable images."
