I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Vanessa for over 12 years and it's rare to come across such a talented designer. Vanessa mixes creativity, style and attention to detail with passion, professionalism and panache. She never fails to meet the brief and usually manages to surpass it, all with a calm disposition and great big smile. Truly a pleasure to work with Vanessa.
Irene O'Gorman, Director, Head of Sales and Marketing KPMG Lower Gulf
Working with Vanessa was a pleasure. She delivered exactly what we needed with skill, enthusiasm and attention to detail. She was also constantly accessible and very responsive to requests.
Mary Smithwicks, Communications Manager, HSE
From an exceptionally creative base Vanessa has provided impactful and innovative design solutions, from concept through to creation and placement, to help effectively position our brand and stand out in our market. Working with Vanessa has always been a professional, collaborative and enjoyable experience.
Susan Ryan, Director of Operations, Deloitte Ireland
Vanessa is an extremely proficient and innovative creative professional. I’ve worked on a broad gambit of design projects with her – from photography concepts to digital and print requirements - and without fail she brings enthusiasm, creativity, a strong understanding of requirements and a willingness to deliver the best results to every project.
Claire Quinn, Head of PR + Communications, Deloitte
She's a great girl.

about me
For over 25 years I have worked with the most passionate, dedicated + innovative teams within the educational, tourism, hospitality, consulting & financial services sector.
For 16 of those years working in the corporate world has given me the invaluable experience collaborating and leading a team of designers in one of the largest global leading professional services firms. In this Creative role I enjoyed exploring innovative design solutions, from concept through to execution, and because the role was so challenging + an incredible learning curve I organically expanded into other design areas, such as stage design, commercial office space, and multimedia.
​
However, a change is as good as a rest, they say, and so.... I took a giant leap into the freelance world and have never looked back! The variety, creativity + flexibility has turned my working world into a much more pleasant place to be. The corporate work nicely balances out the funny ones .... ie. 'can you design a impactful panel that is vertically hung from our 4 storey building please'.... to which I usually respond with a 'certainly' and a smile.
Design + creativity is intelligence having some fun whilst bringing solutions to the table.
I love a challenge I do.
