About me!
Vanessa Wagenhammer
Hello, my name is Vanessa, and I am a designer based in Austria.
Designing is my passion, but even more than the final outcome, I am fascinated by the thinking and development processes behind each project. I believe that good design emerges from creative experimentation, but above all from a deep engagement with the subject at hand. Function and aesthetics must work in perfect harmony to achieve extraordinary results—this is exactly what I strive to realise in my projects.
I enjoy working interdisciplinarily and draw inspiration from a wide range of fields—be it art, nature, or social trends. Above all, I have a love for craftsmanship, which drives me to personally realise the majority of my ideas and deepen my understanding of different materials. My goal is to create design that not only looks remarkable but also inspires, carries responsibility, and generates positive impact.
If you would like to learn more about me or my projects, or if you are interested in collaborating, please feel free to get in touch via email or Instagram.
