About me

Vanessa founded Blok in 1998 after a highly lauded career working at some of the top design studios in North America. Her experiences living and working in Buenos Aires, LA, New York, and Mexico City have given the studio a unique international perspective and scope that has been recognized and awarded globally. Guided by the belief that design is at its best when it serves society, she has collaborated with some of the world's leading contemporary artists, photographers, architects and authors on initiatives that blend cultural awareness, humanity and a love of art to advance society and business alike.

An award winning and highly sought-after lecturer at design symposiums, Vanessa has also served as Jury President of Design at the D&AD in London and as a judge for Cannes Lions. A fervent advocate for equality throughout her life, she has taught and advised on committees and boards for various universities and non-profits.
