A creative by heart. A copywriter by trade.

I partner with brands in media + personal growth to create strategic, captivating copy that sparks action and drives growth.

Hey! I’m Vanessa.


Vanessa is a child standing next to a horse


I grew up in Orange County, California, but now call Valencia, Spain, home. Along the way, I’ve traveled, created, and grown in ways I never imagined.


My mission is simple— to connect through storytelling.

With a foundation in acting, filmmaking, photography, and screenwriting, I now focus on helping purpose-driven brands in media and personal growth tell their stories with precision and creativity.

In a loud market, I’m here to create content that rises above the noise—stories that connect us as humans and remind us of what matters most.

With a unique blend of creative artistry and a deep understanding of human connection, I bring empathy, authenticity, and trust to every project.

Open communication and a commitment to growth are at the heart of my work.

2015

To say 2015 was a pivotal year would be an understatement.

A year after graduating from UC Santa Barbara with a Film and Media degree quickly proved useless in the film industry. I was passed over for job after job because the competition was fierce.

I needed to pay rent. So, like many others, I took a job unrelated to my degree.

Working admin at a nutraceutical company was NOT the dream. I spent hours commuting, exhausted, living for the weekend.

I dreamed of a life of travel—something beyond Southern California and uniquely my own. But I had no idea how to make it happen.

Then, a twist of events put me in the company of three people who would unknowingly alter the course of my life.

Each shared a story that shifted my mindset— a close friend planning her move to Wales, a free-spirited traveler with tales of adventure, and a colleague reminiscing about his travels across Europe as if they were a rite of passage.

Their words lit a fire in me, begging the question: Why not me?

Once the fire was lit, I was off to the races.

I’ve always loved creative writing, so I started searching for a way to combine that with the adventure I was craving.

I found a Master’s program in Creative Writing in London. And yes, it might sound like a typical “disillusioned college grad goes for another degree” story, but for me, it was the answer I was looking for.

London’s history and lively creative scene made it the perfect place to stretch my wings.

After visiting my friend in Wales and falling in love with Europe, moving to London felt like a no-brainer.

When I got accepted into the program, I packed my bags and moved abroad without knowing a soul.

After two amazing years in London (though, let’s be honest, the lack of sunshine was a tough adjustment for this SoCal girl), I’d built a network of creatives—actors, writers, directors, models, etc.

I interned with a notable London photographer and immersed myself in the creative scene.

While helping revamp his website, he casually mentioned that I’d make a great copywriter. My first thought was — I had no idea copywriting was even “a thing.”

But the moment he said it, something clicked. It made sense.

With my background in film and media, I had already learned how to communicate visually and emotionally, so this seemed like a natural next step.

2020

The pandemic hit. And after a short (albeit thrilling) stint living in NYC, I was back in California with a lot of time to think.

It wasn’t until this moment that two things became glaringly clear to me.

  1. It was time to go “all-in” with building my freelance copywriting business.

  2. I could no longer ignore that persistent whisper in my heart, repeating: I want to live in Europe.

Writing has always been my passion. But building a copywriting business? That gave me the freedom I’d been searching for.

Fast forward to 3+ years living in Valencia, Spain, and I can finally say I’ve created a life that’s truly mine.

Leaving the rat race behind, I’ve embraced a simpler, slower-paced life.

All the dreams, hard work, and even the disillusionment led me here—to a place where I’ve fallen in love, built a business, and get to consciously choose the clients and projects that resonate with me.

Today, I bring my evolving perspective and passion to every project.

Now that I’ve charted my path— I’m here to help elevate yours.
