Hello, I’m Vanessa!
I'm a senior creative with over a decade of experience crafting visual stories. My journey has taken me from winning a university Distinction Award in Brazil to helping a team set a Guinness World Record in London. Most recently, I was at TEAM LEWIS, where I’ve focused on integrating major brand identities and ensuring high-quality creative delivery across a diverse client portfolio.
I truly enjoy the balance of strategic oversight and hands-on creation. Whether I am developing a new design system, experimenting with motion graphics, or directing a multi-channel campaign, I am always looking for innovative ways to tell a brand's story.
Beyond the screen... I’m usually off exploring. I love getting lost in a new city, wandering through museum halls, or catching a movie at the cinema (or at home!).
Testimonials
"Vanessa and I worked together for almost two years. She is not only a creative, thoughtful and intelligent designer, but she also fully understands how to communicate and instill brand compliance amongst those colleagues who are less than rigorous in their own work. Her measured approach and considered communications style yielded fabulous results for our business - which was undergoing considerable upheaval as we restructured and prepared it for sale. She is a great team player, who shows flair and initiative, plus she also leads projects with great inspiration and aplomb. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to any future employer and would hire her myself in the blink of an eye given half a chance."
Julian Walker, CEO, Instinctif Partners
"I am pleased to provide a reference for Vanessa Nichele, with whom I had the pleasure of working with at Instinctif Partners. Vanessa was consistently reliable, hardworking and highly focused, with a strong ability to manage a demanding workload independently. Vanessa played an important role in developing, managing and evolving the agency brand, helping to ensure it was applied clearly and consistently across all channels. She was also responsible for designing a wide range of high-quality presentations, brochures and proposals, and also created content for the group website. A genuine self-starter, Vanessa demonstrated significant initiative, worked well with colleagues and stakeholders, and could be trusted to deliver work to a high standard and to deadline. I have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa for creative and marketing-focused roles."
