"AIGA chapters and initiatives are volunteer-run. We don’t get paid for the work we do; we do it because we want to contribute to our community. It’s often difficult to find people who are so tireless and so dedicated to the community that they want to continue to do the work year after year and even across cities. When you find that person, it’s important to have them on your team. And that’s the kind of person Venessa is. She’s tireless, dedicated, open to collaboration, and a leader."

“I had the wonderful pleasure to report to Venessa for two years while she was the President of AIGA Tampa Bay. She is determined, tenacious, and organized. Venessa saw the need for AIGA in our community and took it upon herself to restart the chapter after 3 years of inactivity all while going to school, working full time, and starting her own business. Her work ethic is like nothing I've ever seen before, and anyone will be able to see that while working with her.”

"Rarely do I meet a person which such a mix of passion, artistic skill, intelligence, leadership, professional drive, and approachability. If that's the kind of person you're looking for then Venessa is well worth your consideration."

“There is no project or endeavor too large or small for Venessa. She is self-motivated, highly driven, and tackles the known and unknown head-on and completes projects with flare.”

"Venessa is such a dedicated professional who is consistently on top of her projects, demonstrates passion, creativity, and enthusiasm in everything she works on. She understands process and adapts to change very well. She communicates very well with all teams and understands what it takes to be a team player and undoubtedly would be a great asset to any company."
