“I am writing in support of Vanessa for graphic designer with future companies. Vanessa has been my student for the course “Advanced Digital Photography” held at the Florence University of the Arts in italy during the Spring 2015 semester. During the semester, I had the pleasure of watching the creativity of this young talent blossom, transforming into a focused fine art photographer. Although Vanessa struggled to see her own creative potential at the beginning of the semester, she blasted as soon as she understood how to transform her emotions into images utilizing her amazing graphic skills. I have been deeply impressed by her capacity to create an amazing portfolio in a relatively small amount of time. In class, she has been driven and focused, inspiring other students with her strong analytical point of view. Without hesitation, I recommend Vanessa unequivocally for any future design positions.”
