Hi, I’m Vanessa, a creatively-driven, Sydney-based illustrator and 2D animator with over 10 years of experience in the industry. I’ve worked across studios, agencies, and directly with clients, balancing briefs, tight deadlines, and creative problem-solving to bring strong, visually compelling stories to life. I’m a curious, self-motivated creative who thrives when collaborating, exploring new ideas, and crafting visuals that connect. Whether I’m illustrating a campaign, building assets for motion, or supporting a wider team, I bring initiative, adaptability, and heart to every project.
