One worldview. Four imprints.
Each imprint translates the same governing philosophy into a distinct form — independent in execution, coherent in origin.
ianka is building an Octopus Portfolio® — one worldview expressed through multiple distinct institutions. Each solves a different shape of the same question: how does wisdom become legible to the right people, at the right moment, over decades? Each imprint is a separate arm — independent in form, coherent in origin.
Own Your Story
Most experts have done the work. The thinking is there. The track record is real. What's missing is the thread that makes it legible — to the right people, at the right moment, over time.
Own Your Story is the practice ianka built to answer that question. Working with a small number of founders, experts, and leaders who are at an inflection point — where their public standing has not caught up with who they have actually become. Or who are building something larger that needs a narrative architecture to hold it across decades and reinventions.
bookto
Most tools are built for teams. Most AI is built for output. bookto is built for neither.
bookto is where ianka builds as a citizen developer — lean software for one-person businesses, and carefully crafted prompts that make AI work for your thinking rather than instead of it. At the intersection of technology, knowledge work, and metacognition.
Built to fit. Built to think.
istoires
Not a blog. Not a newsletter. Not a magazine — yet.
istoires is the imprint with no rules except two: written with care, thought through with rigour. Algorithm-free by design. No fixed cadence. No fixed subject. Serendipity first.
The long-form home for ideas that deserve more than a post. Launching 2026–2027.
Brave New Human
A small room. A real question. People who think out loud together.
Brave New Human is the slowest imprint — a Socratic salon in the making. A school of thought, not a course. A gathering for people who want to think deeply, read carefully, and talk honestly about what it means to be human in a time of radical change.
Taking shape.
