Hi, I’m Vanessa! (she/her)
I’m a creative at heart, with a career in arts communication. I’ve been creating content on the internet since 2009, starting with my own humble blog and then helping other brands curate their stories for the ever-changing digital world.
I studied art (Bachelor of Art Theory, Hons I at UNSW) and graphic design (Cert IV Graphic Design, Shillington College) whilst also working as a freelance photographer, writer and content creator.
I’ve worked at the Australian Museum, Museums & Galleries of NSW, Hardie Grant Media, the Art Gallery of NSW, and I’m currently the Library Engagement Manager at the University of Sydney.
You might, however, have found me through my candle-making or love of vintage homewares. I’m drawn to creativity in all it forms and am always on the hunt for curious designs or creative expressions.
I’m based in Sydney, Australia on Gadigal country.
