“I’m a Zimbabwean-born writer, photographer, wild water swimmer and founder of Content Architects. After working in Johannesburg for many years I relocated to work remotely in the Eastern Cape of South Africa in 2010. I love being able to combine a business and a lifestyle which include each other. Every day holds something special, as Elizabeth Gilbert says, 'An epiphany is not an obligation. It's an invitation.'”

Tech PR and Content Communications Specialist
“I worked with Vanessa just shy of two years - a challenging time during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. She is an excellent writer and interpreter of the nature and tone of the often complex content required. This she backs with extensive research. She is also unfailing in meeting delivery deadlines. I enjoyed her gentle humour combined with her incisive mind and nature.”

1000 Drawings Project Manager
“Can you believe that it is four years now? Four years of growing the 1000 Drawings NGO brand and building organic social media following with nothing more than clever, creative and strategic posts. Thank you for writing witty, real and apt newsletters and for the blog that’s always spot on. Thank you for immersing yourself with our world of art and for becoming a subject matter expert! Thank you also for editing and crafting sometimes very clumsy copy to sound super cool and for making our sponsors and donors feel special. Thank you also for doing shout outs to everybody else but yourself and Content Architects! Thank you for working pro-bono for this cause and for being central to the overall success of this art-for-charity fundraising campaign. You Rock! With deep gratitude.”
