Iana is a designer, maker, and community organizer living in Poultney, Vermont.

She was born in Sofia, Bulgaria but moved to the U.S with her brother and parents in 2003. Iana grew up in Florida, where she became involved in theater as a manager and designer, and eventually landed in Pittsburgh, PA for college. Iana has a BFA in Drama with a concentration in Set Design from Carnegie Mellon University. 

These days, Iana is more interested in making clothing and recycling unwanted material in creative ways. She loves to collect hobbies, and has never met a craft she didn’t enjoy. Recently, Iana has been exploring fiber crafts and papermaking.

In the past year, Iana has become more involved at Reclaimed, redesigning the website, scheduling classes, and launching new events. 

You can often find Iana painting or crocheting by the Poultney River.
