Freelance Art Director & Graphic Designer

Vanessachuba.com

I help brands, companies, and agencies become visually distinctive – with design that has character, makes an impact, and sticks.

My goal: to translate complex brand messages into visually strong, strategically thought-out designs – from branding to UX/UI, from social content to print.

For teams, founders, and companies that see design as real added value, I create new brand identities, rebrands, digital campaigns, or editorial designs that show attitude and have a lasting impact.

I love clear typography, smart layouts, and bold ideas – and I believe good design solves problems: it creates orientation, trust, and identity.

What I offer:

Brand design & rebranding, art direction & creative concepting, UX/UI design (web & app, incl. prototyping & Figma), social media & content design (static & animated), editorial & print design including print preparation, illustration, photography & motion design

I work in a structured, fast way with high quality standards – remote or on-site in Hamburg. Whether one-off support, long-term collaboration, or creative sparring partner at eye level – wherever design becomes a game changer.
