welcome to my new creative home.

This website itself is a current project… it’s purpose is to collect my past and current work into one place.

As someone who has been on the internet since forever, I have parts of myself (i.e. my design portfolio + photographic works + blogs + social posts + extensive unshared archives) strewn across many spaces. I’ve been longing for a curated home base for my creative work, as well as a space to launch and share new projects. So here we are! :)

This site is very much under construction. So please be in the experiment with me, especially for the next 6 months—this space will be in constant flux. From top to bottom—for goodness sake’s, I’m not even satisfied with my current logo. But it’s a start—I struggle with perfectionism and releasing this site now is a way of working through it. Artists need space to experiment… this is mine.

So feel free to poke around, explore, and come visit again soon! xoxo, Vanessa
