Hi, I’m Ilinca – it’s nice to meet you.

I’m a Data Science Director, building creative data & tech experiences at Wunderman Thompson since 2020.

A founding member of Wunderman Thompson’s award-winning Global Creative Data Group and a social scientist by training, I have an overactive imagination and a passion for weird side projects, storytelling with data, and that sweet spot where code and creativity collide.

Born in Bucharest, Romania, I grew up in Germany and am currently based in New York City after stints in Edinburgh, Oxford, Singapore and London.

In my spare time, I like to get crafty (watercolor and collage art are my favorites), write (preferably in busy coffee shops), and take photographs with my beloved Zorki-4 camera, which I’ve inherited from my grandad.

I have an MSc in Social Science of the Internet from the Oxford Internet Institute.
