5 Minutes with... Ivanka Majic - Canonical

Published

**Tell us what you do for a living and who you work for?
I am Creative Strategy Lead at Canonical.

What does that involve?
Taking technical cleverness and making it into consumable cleverness. Oh, and changing the world. I also get to help people find the space and time to make their ideas happen.

How did you get started in the industry?
In engineering! I like making things.

What would you be doing if you weren't doing that?
Riding from top to bottom of the world on a motorbike.

What's your all-time favourite piece of creative work?
I love lots of things! Some days it's a Turner, some a Westwood handbag and some days it is a really well designed potato peeler. All-time favourite? I sort of hope that I never get to that.

What do you love about your job?
I love my team. We are all opinionated, driven and skilled. We solve tough challenges and we laugh. I also love working with people who are good at things that I am not good at.

What do you hate about your job?
Hate? Bit strong that. We all have bad days. I love what I do and it is easy to keep sight of that.

Tell us your favourite website?
I couldn't think of one but Steve says his is ffffound and Calum favours NotCot.

If you could give one piece of advice, what would it be?
Don't pretend.
