Our Values
We’ve rejected corporate hustle
culture to build a company rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and respect.
We believe great work comes from collaboration, intention, and a deep understanding of the people we serve.
We’re committed to elevating underrepresented voices by prioritizing photographers, developers, and designers from underserved communities.

Meet Our Founder
The Founder of North Creative, Vanessa brings nearly two decades of experience working with top brands in the beauty and fashion industries.
She studied Industrial Design at the University of Illinois and Central St. Martins in London—one of the world’s leading art and design schools. After a brief stint as a fashion designer, she finally found her calling in creating brands - and telling their stories.
Vanessa leads her life with curiosity - she has visited every continent and loves delving into different cultures. Meeting people from all walks of life has inspired her own love of both storytelling and problem-solving - two skills she carries with her throughout her work.
