Hello! My name is Vanessa Ooms. I'm a freelance Graphic & Web Designer based in Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, with 13+ years in the industry.
Over the course of my career I've created custom logos, branding kits, presentations, business cards and other marketing materials, signage and trade show materials, printed and online ads, packaging designs, book designs, album covers, websites, social media branding kits and templates, online courses and everything in between. I’ve built long standing relationships with my clients over the years and feel very blessed to know them all.
I am self-motivated, detail-oriented, personable, reliable, efficient, and always ready to learn something new. You’re also guaranteed some good belly laughs working with me!
