I have had the pleasure and fortune of working with Illana Burk for the past several months. During this time she has helped me hone my focus, connect to the essence of my brand, and fine-tune every aspect of my entrepreneurial pursuit. She is 100% focused on my business and brand during our sessions, and offers advice and insight that only a truly passionate and intelligent person can give. She continually takes me to the next level.Lauren Hayley
Working with Illana Burk of Makeness is like getting a shot of creative common sense. She dissected my fine art website down to the most minute details and highlighted what worked and what didn't clearly, while offering a solid outline for changes to make me shine. If you’re committed making things happen work with Makeness!Gwyn Michael
After banging my head against the wall trying to come up with a usable tagline, I turned to Makeness' Illana Burk for help. 18 hours after clicking the buy button on her website, I had a shockingly good tagline sitting in my inbox! I dare anyone to beat that turn around time! Great service, professional from start to finish and a pleasure to work with, my only regret is that I didn't find her sooner! Thanks Illana!Shane Laing
Illana simplifies. In genius proportions. She thinks in vast, loping, wide-range visions, then distills action into simple, doable, kick ass silver bullets. Locked. Loaded. Go.Pema Teeter
Illana gets it.
She understands what's going on with creative startups at the ground level. Her favorite clients are the ones show-offy, glitzy business consultants shy away from. Limited resources? Not a problem. Don't fit into the typical business landscape? All the better.
But make no mistake: Illana's clients get the benefit of her huge ideas. She not only lays out her immense and colorful vision before you, backed by her considerable business experience, but you also get her unstoppable energy and her wicked humor, gratis. Hire her. She'll be your fan, your friend, your advocate, and the best decision you ever made in getting off the ground or going to the next level.
I come to her for very specific projects when I know there's no other POV but Illana's I want, and I also come to her for gut checks. Great instincts, serious moxie, and a tell-it-like-it-is approach that never fails to convince you that you've been seen and heard.
