Vanessa began her editing career mentored by industry heavyweights Sam Sneade (Sexy Beast, Birth, Guinness Surfer) and Art Jones (30 Days of Night, Hard Candy, Twilight Saga), and was nominated for best editing at the UKMVA’s soon after. Before then, she studied Drama at Hull University, worked in the theatre & was a runner on film & TV sets giving her a unique insight into her future work.

Her award winning work includes the world's first ever zero carbon commercial shoot for Hitachi directed by Ivan Bird & voiced by Oscar Winner Sam Mendes (Skyfall), "CAKE" starring Letitia Wright (Black Panther) and Maxine Peake (Black Mirror) which won best short film at Kinsale and the London Independent Film Awards, and video walls for U2's legendary Glastonbury set, directed by Damien Hirst with footage of his work including “For The Love of God” (The Diamond Skull).

During her career she’s edited numerous campaigns for household name brands including Zara, Habitat, Sainsbury’s, McDonalds, NatWest, the BBC, Asda, Iceland, Morrisons, Revlon, Tesco and more.

A background in acting & 18 years as a Voice Over Artist have enabled her to develop a keen instinct for performance and timing, making her equally at home editing drama, comedy or more visual musical pieces.

She prides herself in her creativity and professionalism, always bringing humour, warmth and creative collaboration to her working relationships with directors, producers, agencies and clients.
