The Short

Hi, I’m Vanessa Lindo, a designer located in Upstate Greenville SC. I work out of an office with some plants and my dog Gordon, who snores so loud that people can hear him from a phone call.

The Long

I was born in São Paulo, Brazil. I received my Bachelor in Graphic Design from the Universidade Paulista in São Paulo, Brazil in 2008. Before graduation, I worked as an intern in the marketing department at a franchise chain, where I was offered a graphic designer assistant position at the end of the internship contract. 

I had been working there for over a year when I was offered the same position, but improved benefits and salary, in a manufactory, on which I stayed for about 2 and a half years. 

While developing my career in this company, I was able to take several different design courses that were challenging for me at the time. Also, I started an English course seeking to enhance not only my curriculum but an old dream of studying in a foreign country.

With that vision in mind, I decided to spend 6 months abroad in 2012 studying three different design-related short courses in London, UK at the University of Arts London. This was a wonderful experience as I was surrounded by very bright, creative people. 

Vanessa at Trafalgar Square - The National Gallery London UKOne of my favorite things to do while I was in London, was having a snack and sit down on those stairs at The National Gallery at the famous Trafalgar Square.

This was an extreme positive opportunity, as I was able to experience what life is like in a different country (and the adversities that may present) while leverage my business skills under demanding circumstances. Coming back home from London, I took a position in a full-service advertising agency.

In 2013, I moved to the US, where my now-husband was given a job offer. That was a lifetime opportunity, that I felt worth the risk and challenge of being out of my comfort zone. 

After some market research and writing a business plan, I opened up Studio Ink & Pixel in January of 2020.

What People are Saying About Me

I’ve worked with Vanessa many times over the years and she has never disappointed! Her design work of all types (branding, sites, etc.) is all absolutely lovely and amazingly high-quality, and she’s communicative and has a fast turn-around, too. Vanessa sees right into your brain, understands what you want, pulls it out, and then makes it even better and more beautiful than whatever you were thinking to start with. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
