Hi hello I’m Vanessa. 

I’m a writer, editor, and recovering corporate voice-shifter currently reviving my ‘02 LiveJournal spirit on LinkedIn of all places.

After fifteen years in editorial leadership and brand storytelling, I got tired of writing for algorithms and started writing like an actual person again. Weirdly, it worked.

Now I write essays about identity, motherhood, ambition, burnout, millennial nostalgia, creativity, birds, and the general psychological chaos of being alive.

A publisher offered me a fellowship and a book deal, which still feels fake.

Also there’s a toucan involved.

WTF?

All the. small things.

  • Ghostwriter no longer ghostin’ herself

  • Liberal arts degree survivor

  • Writes like she's runnin' outta time

  • Sponsored by Taco Bell and coffeejuice

  • Treats metaphor like a competitive sport

  • Run-on-sentence enthusiast

  • If Joan Didion and Daria had a daughter

  • Borderline doggo stalker

  • Millennial in bone density, Gen Z at heart

  • Mentally still at the Scholastic Book Fair

WORDS, YA NERDS.
