About
Vanessa Meister is a Swiss designer based in Kochi, India since 2010. Working across graphic design, illustration, and creative consultancy, she develops ideas across both analogue and digital mediums, building visual worlds across design, fashion and art.
Her practice is structured through evolving collections that move between formats and scales — from paper cuttings to murals, and from large canvases to printed objects.
Vanessa’s process is intuitive and exploratory, grounded in observation and a strong sense of visual storytelling. She collaborates with cultural institutions, brands, and organisations to create thoughtful and engaging visual experiences.
Alongside her practice, she teaches Design Thinking and conducts workshops focused on structured creative processes.
