IRINA MISHINA, also known under the name of Ima Blumm, is a creativity  consultant and coach; she works in the areas of Creative Problem Solving,  creative strategies and talent and vocation development. She is also a photographer, writer and multidisciplinary artist.

Creativity is her life's passion and she dedicates herself to help others to develop their creative potential, as the main premise of her work is that creativity is a human being's innate ability and it just needs certain conditions in order to flourish.  According to Irina  in our times of constant changes developing creative potential - whether of an individual or of an organization - is a must requirement for success.

Apart from her wide experience in different creative fields she brings to her clients her deep knowledge of the business world, the knowledge she acquired during her years of professional experience as a business process analyst and engineer in different multinational corporations, like, for example,  Agilent Technologies or Pioneer Investments.
One can see the passion for what she does in her eyes, in every gesture and in every explanation, and she transmits this passion to anyone who comes across. And her involvement in every project she is doing is total, in terms of time, efforts and resources.
