Bio

Vanessa is a Creative Consultant, specializing in Brand Strategy and Squarespace websites for entrepreneurs, non-profits, and small businesses in need of strategic, elevated design and compelling visual storytelling. Prior to her current entrepreneurial ventures, she served as the Director of Marketing, Director of Operations, and Project Manager at several large companies, both in the UK and the US. Her affinity for systems and organization lent itself well to the corporate arena however, desire to live a more creative life eventually led her to develop her own independent career. Now over 20 years as an independent, working with a variety of clients and businesses, Vanessa brings a sophisticated design eye and flair to any project, but she remains focused on building real relationships with her clients, and not just contracts, duly earning a reputation as trusted adviser to many. Outside of her professional life, Vanessa is also co-founder of a small grass-roots organization, HADAYA Global, providing books, balls, and educational opportunities for displaced children worldwide, mostly within the refugee community.
