Vanessa Ryder was born and raised on the West Coast of Australia. Travelling the world with her family at a young age, she was fascinated by other countries, cultures and people, taking inspiration from new places and new experiences. A fascination and appreciation that continues to this day.

Following a path that led her to London, Design School in New York, and eventually Los Angeles, she found the perfect combination of all her skill sets and all her interests, at the juncture of homes, interiors, and design.

These days, Vanessa is known for creating classically beautiful spaces combining an eye for design, attention to detail, and thoughtful function with timeless elegance.
