Hi, I’m Vanessa Rivera — founder, creative director, and the visionary mind behind Designs In My Head.
I created this studio for entrepreneurs like me — bold, brilliant, and unstoppable, even if we’ve had to rebuild from scratch.
Designs In My Head was born out of both strategy and survival. In the midst of a life transformation, after leaving an emotionally abusive marriage, I found myself building again — not just my business, but my entire identity. While raising four kids and working Uber shifts to make ends meet, I realized something powerful: the brand you build is the future you choose.
So I chose mine — with vision, design, and soul.
Now, I help founders, especially women and creatives, design brands that don’t just look good — they embody their genius. I specialize in luxury branding, intuitive websites, and AI-powered marketing strategies that move fast and speak volumes. Every pixel, every word, every vibe is curated to reflect your energy, your evolution, and your empire.
I believe branding is a healing act. It’s how we make ourselves visible — fully, boldly, and beautifully.
This is not just a design studio. It’s a creative sanctuary where ideas get built, legacies get branded, and you rise.
Are you ready to design the version of you the world needs to see?
About Me
You’re not just building a brand—you’re becoming the woman who owns it.
Love,
Vanessa

Vibrante Jewelry
Vibrante Jewelry is a celebration brand I developed from concept to launch, blending strategy, storytelling, and design into a cohesive identity. From logo design and visual system to website and marketing materials, I built a scalable brand that reflects joy, elegance, and empowerment. Each piece of jewelry is positioned as more than an accessory—it’s a marker of life’s milestones: weddings, graduations, and achievements worth celebrating. Through this work, I elevated brand recognition, increased sales, and positioned Vibrante Jewelry for long-term growth.
