I'm Vanessa Massaro, born and raised in Italy, now based in Stuttgart, Germany.

My professional journey has been shaped by a passion for design, a commitment to continuous learning, and a drive to push boundaries.

While self-taught in UI/UX and graphic design, I’ve earned certifications to validate my skills and expand my knowledge. Currently, I’m enrolled in the PMP certification program to further strengthen my project management abilities, bridging design and execution seamlessly.

I work to create immersive, visually impactful store layouts and enhance the customer experience through personalized styling. This role has allowed me to hone my ability to translate brand identity into cohesive design elements while staying attuned to customer needs and preferences. Whether in design, merchandising, or project management, my approach is grounded in delivering functional, user-centered solutions. Each aspect of my work—whether it’s optimizing user interfaces, crafting visual identities, or curating store environments—reflects my passion for creating engaging, effective experiences.
I’m committed to constantly evolving and bringing fresh, innovative ideas to every project I take on.
