She graduated the National Arts University in 2009, where she studied Photography and Video-Art. One of her student experimental short films, ā€žRomanians wear plastic bagsā€, was awarded a Best Experimental Film Prize in 2009.

After finishing studies she had several solo and group exhibitions, showing photography works, experimental film or installation. Some of her photography work is to be found in the Deutsche Telekom art collection.

In 2011, she signs the costumes for Adrian Sitaruā€™s ā€žBest Intentionsā€, awarded at Locarno Film Festival in 2012. Over the years, she signed costumes for 9 feature films and 20 short films, mostly awarded at international film festivals.

Her debut in production design was in 2012 for ā€œChildā€™s Poseā€ directed by Călin Peter Netzer, winner of the Golden Bear and the FIPRESCI Prize at the Berlin Film Festival in 2013. Since then, she signed ten other feature films and over 20 short films as production designer.

She also signed the Art Direction for Maren Adeā€™s ā€œTony Erdmannā€, winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes Film Festival 2016 and Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film in 2017, BAFTA and Golden Globe nominee.

For some films Ionescu signed both, production and costume design, like Cretulescuā€™s ā€œCharlestonā€, selected in Locarno Film Festivals main competition in 2017 or ā€œTwo Lottery Ticketsā€, directed by Paul Negoescu, a box office success in Romania.

She recently finished shooting ā€œOtto, the Barbarianā€, the debut film of Ruxandra Ghitescu, where she also signed both costumes and production design.
She was a nominee for Best Costume Design in 2014, 2017, 2019 and for Best Production Design in 2019 at the Gopo Awards, the Romanian awards for film professionals.

She recently started to explore production and costume design for theatre.
