Available to hire
My name is Vanessa Vanya, and I’m excited to apply for roles that allow me to bring enthusiasm, creativity, and a collaborative spirit to the team. With over 25 years of customer service experience, I understand how to create welcoming, professional environments and how to keep operations smooth and friendly for guests and colleagues alike. I’m highly organized, a fast learner, and I thrive on staying busy and delivering thoughtful, high-quality experiences, whether I’m managing front desk duties, multitasking across initiatives, or supporting artists and clients in meaningful ways.
In addition to my professional background, I’m an artist myself and deeply value creative communities. Shrine Tattoo is esteemed for its talented artists, exceptional work, and professional reputation, and I’d love to contribute to that environment. I’ve worked with local staples like High Garden Entertainment, Smoke the Moon Gallery, Desert Moss Vintage, Best Daze, and many more, and I take pride in being a professional and personal part of this tight-knit creative family.
