    paper Portfolio Vanessa Cubas

    Camu Camu is my most recent project: a conscious women’s fashion brand made in Peru with natural fibers such as cotton and alpaca. This project includes product design, creative direction, photoshoot development, and content creation, reflecting a sustainable and feminine approach to fashion.

    Additionally, I worked on Nusa Dua Swimwear, a beachwear brand featuring bikinis and cover-ups, where I developed the product design, photoshoot concept, and visual content.
