The journey of InnovatorsBox® began while I was in my dream career, yet I felt utterly stuck. The lack of creativity in nuclear non-proliferation had made me risk-averse. I couldn’t remember the last time I created something on my own simply because I wanted to.
It wasn’t until I integrated creativity into my daily routine that things started to transform. My productivity skyrocketed. I got promoted. My insights and perspectives changed. I started thinking differently and began sharing fresh outlooks with top clients. And on a personal level, I was less stressed, more confident, and eager to attack what life threw at me
When I realized that 87% of all professionals do not feel very creative, and that I was not alone in feeling this way, I decided to gather my diverse expertise to create a space for everyone to rediscover their creativity. That’s what led me to start InnovatorsBox®.

Creator. Speaker. Creative Educator. Author.
Monica is a passionate educator, speaker, community builder, and an author of Rethink Creativity. Driven by her own all too common experiences of feeling stuck and uncreative at work, she’s determined to change the status quo of the modern workforce.
She is driven by the belief that everyone is innately creative and that creativity can be used to catalyze personal and professional change. As the Founder and CEO of InnovatorsBox®, her deepest satisfaction comes from seeing individuals realize their full potential and talents through creativity.
Meet some of the companions on our journey to unlock creativity for all! We all have an innate abundance of curiosity, courage and creativity which never goes away; instead, we lose touch and fall out of practice. It’s like having old friends we haven’t connected with in awhile.
This is why InnovatorsBox has created a creativity cast of characters to help you reconnect with your true self, unleash your imagination, and paint more possibilities each day into your life. Whether you are seeking inspiration for your professional journey or your personal one, we hope that these characters remind you that everything is always within reach.
From August to December 2021, we’re opening the curtains for you to see the “IB Backstage” and meet us behind the scenes.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us and we look forward to sharing many more years of learning and growing as innovators together!
