VANESSA VALLEJO CUNILLERA
ART DIRECTION & COMMUNICATION DESIGN
ABOUT ME
I have been in the design world long enough to consider myself idealistic. While this comes from questioning certain surface-level tendencies in the industry, it has allowed me to develop my own approach to Communication Design—one that aligns with my motivations. I believe curiosity should lead over trends, and I enjoy diving deep into the themes and concepts I work with to uncover their true essence.
Born in Mexico and raised in the Dominican Republic, I became a designer surrounded by the warm, chaotic charm of Caribbean life. My origins have shaped my visual sensibility, giving me room to embrace authenticity, vibrancy, and the organic qualities that make work feel human, praising character over flawlessness. Currently based in The Netherlands, from where I explore new ways to weave my background and perspective into a contrasting setting.
I’ve developed various projects ranging from branding and editorial work to packaging and posters; for clients in culture, education, premium chocolate, and data analysis, among other areas. In my autonomous work, I place myself on the outskirts of Graphic Design—with a focus on storytelling and self-publishing, fascinated by how language and essence can be made tangible.
ABOUT YOUR PROJECT
I love when client-designer relationships feel like collaborations rather than transactions. If you're also skeptical of trends and more interested in uncovering something meaningful through the process, let's talk. I value experimentation and believe the best results don’t start with a fixed idea of the outcome but emerge through discovery.
Everything you see on my site was shaped by specific communication needs and intentions. I’m not interested in reaching one signature style—I’d rather adapt and shift between visual languages that respond to each project’s unique essence. I believe in creating work that surprises and engages—not just me, but you and your audience—something fresh, thoughtful, and resonant.
