About Me

Passionate about empowering women in UX and product design. Up for chatting on Slack or over an ice cream at FoMu. Vanessa’s passionate about commerce as a force for good and access to entrepreneurship, a vision she's helmed at Dough—driving dollars to 1,000+ women-owned businesses. Her work has been featured in Fortune, Glossy, and Business Insider as well as recognized by the Stevie Awards, Adobe, and W3 – just to name a few. Before Dough, Vanessa was a co-founder and partner at Six Things—an award-winning, woman-owned plus operated, creative agency. She has worked with 50+ clients including JetBlue, Disney, and Target.
