Back to original languageAbout Vanessa
I am 7 years old, in first grade, and discovering a computer.This day, I don't put words to it, but I already know that this tool will accompany me for a (very) long time. As a teenager, I taught myself Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator.
My studies led me to management, communication, and culture.Then came live performance: cultural assistant, production manager, sound and lighting technician…There, I learned rigor and the truth of the field:you don't "try", you get results. At the same time, a communication assistant position grounded me in professional basics. It's intense, sometimes tough, but it builds a reflex:stay the course until the deliverable.
June 2016. I learned I was pregnant. An image crossed my mind: my mother leaving for work with a knot in her stomach. I made myself a simple and radical promise: be there for my daughter and show her that you can invent a job that fits you.In November, I created my graphic design business.
Why this profession?Because it's about making what matters visible.Clarifying, organizing, translating a personality into imagesso that others can see what you bring.I love that precise moment when, suddenly, everything aligns and confidence becomes visible. One of my clients, Loïc, was able toexpand his business to Canada once his materials were professionalized. This kind of result is exactly what motivates me.
In 2023, I became a Canva Ambassador.At first, I found it hard to believe, then I felt mostly pride: pride in showing that you can create something beautiful and useful.
Today, after years of staying the course,I have supported over 800 people on their visual projects through my online programs and +35 projects in graphic services.My role: to create clear, coherent, and professional materials so that my clients gain credibility and communicate with pride.
