In 1998 she started working with other firms and created innovative designs for an international clientele.
From 2002 to the present, Ida has been running a design studio as a self-employed professional, collaborating in different sectors, and working on jewellery design and fashion accessories.
In 2007 she was selected for the SATURNO PROJECT, promoted by the European Union, to develop initiatives in jewellery design and services.
