Inspired by her Cuban roots, Vanessa is as influential as her Art Deco styling rooted in her cultural composition. Deleon's innovative sensibility combined with a keen eye for detail resulted in her signature design style, GLAMILISTIC, where she combines streamline with minimalism resulting in a rich, glamorous style. Vanessa's modern and stylized interiors incorporate classic dcor, specializing in high-end residential homes, commercial venues, and hospitality facilities.
Vanessa attended and graduated from The Fashion Institute of Technology, immediately landing a job with Ralph Lauren while holding a part-time job in her family's furniture business, as in-house designer. Before long her design work was in demand, forcing her to quit her job with Ralph Lauren to pursue a full-time job in the family business. As her popularity rose, Vanessa branched out on her own, creating Vanessa DeLeon Associates. While attending Berkeley College for Interior Design, she took an interest in the Asian art of design, which led her to continue her studies in the art of Feng Shui at the Feng Shui Institute of America. Recent ventures include the branding and licensing of Vanessa Deleon. As a powerful and successful brand, Vanessa Deleon is perceived as an influential, marketable brand name. She has established a relationship with manufacturers, most recently as a contributing expert for an Angel Soft ad campaign, and also as a product designer for Ricca Lighting. Vanessa is continuously increasing possibilities for both herself as well as her company. |
