Ina has always been fascinated by good stories, their heroes and their plots (especially the slightly scarier ones). That’s why she chose psychology as her vocation: in order to be able to understand all the elements of a good story at a deeper level. Because everything is a story – how we present ourselves, what we say and how we say it, what impression we leave on other people and what kind of relationships we build with them. That’s why she has been in the business of storytelling for more than ten years, helping brands tell their stories in a meaningful and authentic way. In her free time she likes to read (Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett), write (in addition her columns she is working on a book) and seek out meaningful patterns in cat behaviour (she hasn’t got too far with this but the struggle goes on).
