Meet Your Creative Co-Conspirator
Hi, I’m Vanessa 👋 — Creative Director, Designer, and Professional Problem-Solver. I help brands stand out with thoughtful, personality-packed design that feels like you.
The Plot Twist That Got Me Here
Before launching VESA Creative, I spent years designing for some of the biggest names out there—NBC, FOX, Disney Broadcast Productions, and Golf Channel. I led teams, built national campaigns, and created high-impact motion graphics seen by millions. It was fast-paced, exciting, and everything I thought I wanted.
But here’s the plot twist: I realized what I loved most wasn’t working on big brands. It was working with real people.
So I stepped away from the network grind to start something more personal. Now, I help small businesses, startups, and passionate entrepreneurs bring their brands to life.
When I’m Off the Clock
You’ll find me with a camera in hand traveling, or experimenting with AI tools to push creativity further. I’m powered by curiosity, fresh air, and the occasional oat-milk chai latte.
Meet the Support Team
AKA: My Creative Ride-or-Dies
While I (Vanessa) lead the charge at VESA Creative, I’m lucky to collaborate with a small but mighty crew of creatives who bring extra magic to projects when needed. These are the trusted folks I call when it’s go time.
