Not just visuals that look good, but ones that feel completely, unmistakably you.

MEET YOUR DESIGNER

Creative Director – Vanessa

I’m Vanessa, Creative Director and founder of (VR) Graphics Studio, with over 25 years of experience across graphic design, branding and advertising. Since beginning my career in 1997, I’ve worked within agencies, in-house corporate teams and my own studio, which
I have led full-time since 2007.

My experience spans brand identity, campaigns, packaging, publications, point-of-sale, signage, digital content and website design. I’ve collaborated with brands including Caltex, Aldi, Metro Petroleum, The Distributors Brisbane, Ragù, Caffè Gigi, Via del Corso, Nudie Juices, Cadbury and Smith’s.

I bring the polish and commercial understanding of big-brand experience together with the personal, collaborative approach of a boutique studio. Every project is supported by thoughtful creative direction, clear communication, careful organisation and a genuine commitment to delivering high-quality work.

Open to the right opportunity
Alongside my studio practice, I’m open to senior creative, brand, design and project-based opportunities where
I can contribute my commercial experience, creative direction and collaborative approach within a broader team.

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER

What You Can Expect

  • Strategic thinking – I look beyond the logo and design a full visual language for your brand.

  • A calm, organised process – clear timelines, regular updates and files delivered correctly the first time.

  • High-end, but human – luxury-level design with a friendly, down-to-earth approach.

  • Long-term support – many clients stay for years, evolving their brand with me as they grow.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

  • "I could not speak more highly of Vanessa at VR Graphics who Aus Bev have been working for over 5 years. Vanessa has a natural flare for design and I have never been disappointed. I have always experienced extremely good service in professional and timely manner!."

    AUS BEV PTY LTD – Garth Stanley (Managing Director)

  • "I cannot recommend VR Graphics highly enough. I have had the pleasure of working with Vanessa for many years and during this time she has proved to be creative, co-operative, flexible, professional and great fun! She is a delight to work with and is always full of new and inspirational ideas. Following briefs closely while injecting her innovative design ideas into all projects she works on. Her standout quality is the ability to ensure that a good-looking design onscreen translates well in print.. A true professional. Will highly recommend!

Vanessa has a great eye for what is needed in producing a successful promotion visually and efficiently. Over the past 7 years Vanessa has helped us grow our business and I would proudly recommend her to any business that is needing a spark in life.
