A creative multidisciplinary thinker.
Inspired by people, nature, and play.
Ivana Dancova
Based on the Surfcoast of Victoria
I thrive on dichotomy. The tension between my artistic passion and my thirst for scientific knowledge have so far led me on a windy, peculiar, but a rather fascinating road. I completed my first degree in Vancouver as a Geophysics Bachelor of Science at the University of British Columbia. I then took a leap around the world to indulge in my second degree: a Master of Architecture at the University of Melbourne. I have since become a registered architect under the Architects Registration Board of Victoria (ARBV). The process of design thinking has proven to be an invigorating stimulus for me. I have come to view my creative practice as a devoted relationship between two opposing elements: the creative and the analytical, the vague and the quantifiable, and the conceptual and the physical. As an artist and a designer, I aspire to teeter on the hairline edge between these conflicting realms so I can make you, the user, slightly uncomfortable yet safe. It is there where we are able to connect the most, play the most, and feel the most.
