Team

Vanessa's motivation to start sewing came from her grandma who worked as seamstress. Through her, she began learning fashion and textiles and eventually received formal training in domestic and industrial sewing techniques through EcoEquitable. She loves to use her skills to up-cycle and rework fabric into custom pieces all whilst doing it sustainability with an aim for zero-waste.

Outside of expressing her artistic side through clothing, she is the founder of Vegan Heart Lifestyle - a local not-for-profit organization that encourages others to think creatively and compassionately when cooking. The focus is to prepare delicious and nutritious plant-based meals using affordable ingredients and seasonally available local produce.
