Hello, I’m Vanessa - a designer and illustrator based on the coast in Torquay.

With a background in fashion, over a decade of experience, and a love for refined detail, my work blends art with design… from expressive textile prints to delicate, hand-drawn portraiture. I currently divide my time between working with brands through Print Haven, and creating custom illustrations that capture life’s most meaningful moments.
I’m also a mum of two, wife, and proud Italian greyhound wrangler - so I know a thing or two about finding beauty in the chaos.
