About

Vanessa is a lifelong maker, serial hobbyist, and multi-passionate creator, originally from Texas but now happily rooted in East Tennessee. Since childhood, she’s had a magnetic pull toward paper, pens, markers — anything that could turn an ordinary moment into something extraordinary. If you can dream it, she can craft it, always adding her signature spark of flair. Think of her as a modern-day Crafting Midas: everything she touches gets a little extra magic.

Growing up in a world where personalization was beginning to take off, Vanessa longed for something as simple as a keychain with her name on it. When she couldn’t find one, she made it herself — and that single moment lit the fire for a lifetime of creative adventures. From posters to banners to one-of-a-kind gifts, Vanessa’s list of “Hey, can you make…” projects is endless.

Specializing in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that can’t be found in any souvenir shop, Vanessa brings people together through thoughtful, personalized keepsakes. She thrives on the delight of surprise, often working quietly behind the scenes until it’s time for the big reveal. Her creative work has appeared at corporate events, community gatherings, and across countless platforms, always leaving a lasting impression.

Vanessa’s love of calligraphy began at a Sip and Script class in Dallas — a simple bucket-list activity that quickly turned into a deep passion. With every swirl of ink and every letter she shapes, Vanessa finds new ways to make moments memorable and meaningful. Her lettering blends seamlessly with both her personal and professional life, reflecting her dedication to connection through creativity.
