OUR STORY

As an established designer with a thriving Santa Monica, California-based practice, Vanessa has earned the respect of her clients, the design community and the media. Her diverse expertise working in both residential and commercial interiors, combined with knowledge culled from practicing real estate for more than 7 years in the celebrity enclaves of Los Angeles, has made her a consummate in-demand talent.

Born, but not entirely raised, in Miami by her British mum and Canadian father, Vanessa enjoyed many cultural journeys around the globe at an early age. Travel was then and still is a central source of inspiration and is responsible for much of the aptitude and diversity in the design styles she is known for today. Vanessa’s keen appreciation for the history of design, modalities and movements in all eras gives her the foundation to approach each room as a singular piece of art. 

“There is an art to creating bespoke spaces,” says Schreiber.  “The aesthetic a designer brings to a project should have an authentic voice – it should make a statement but also be in tune with its origins, architecture and inhabitants.” 

Vanessa Schreiber has been consistently designing since she received her degree in 2007 from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Downtown Los Angeles. She began her studies at the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID). While in New York she worked at Holland and Sherry in the Decoration & Design Building (D&D) working in high end showrooms and assisting top designers.

Attention to detail, psychology of color, knowledge of materials and texture, use of scale, lighting and space planning are some of the many integral elements used by Vanessa and her team. But Vanessa’s unique “eye for design” and bespoke style cannot be taught. It’s a creative confidence that allows her to take chances based on instinct alone. Whether designing a corporate office, Venice Beach Loft or a Beverly Park estate, Vanessa Schreiber Design brings the grace, elegance and originality to that sets her firm’s projects apart. 

“The emotional and visual process of playing with dimension, texture and scale creates a sense of drama that really makes interiors an extension of the people who live in them. This is what design is about.”

“Please be advised that as the principal of various Real Estate developments that has built dozens of award winning residential tracts and custom homes over the past 25 years, I have had the experience of dealing with numerous designers with regard to finishes, model home decor and/or staging. Alas, I am honored to state that having recently worked with Vanessa Schreiber we have, hopefully, found the last designer we will ever require. I say “hopeful,” only because I fear that others are discovering her wonderful talents and we will no longer be able to afford her. In short, Vanessa brings an incredible eye for design along with a wonderfully professional attitude that evidences a team personality that is not ego driven. She works diligently, on time and within budget and intuitively understands her clients needs and tastes. In this regard, Vanessa recently worked with us on a 12 unit town home project in Studio City (Colfax Villas) that was so tastefully conceived we ultimately sold every unit about $80,000 above the broker’s estimates and more than $100,000 above the bank appraisers. Vanessa, not only assisted us with the lighting, plumbing, cabinet, countertop and tile finishes, but she designed the lobby, courtyard and model units that will undoubtedly win some awards. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words but those who witnessed her work, in person, made us almost an extra $1 million. We certainly look forward to working with Vanessa on our 17 home project currently under construction in Valley Village as well as our two custom homes in Encino and could not more highly recommend her. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions or concerns.”

“I have worked with Vanessa as a rug and carpeting vendor for years now. Our team considers her more than a client but a friend! Vanessa has an amazing work ethic, is very organized, and has incredible TASTE! The designs she puts together are unique, beautiful and always keep the clients interests at the highest regard.”

— Gilda Nassir | The Rug Warehouse | President

“When we started working on our coffee shop concept, we quickly discovered that it is quite challenging to design a space where you have multiple partners and even more opinions. We then approached Vanessa Schreiber with a tough request; here is how our idea “sounds” like…please envision it and make it happen. Vanessa then coordinated our various departments from our architects through our artist and back to our contractor using her understanding and sense of design as she directed it all toward a unified look. At the end, Vanessa managed to bring our vision into life in a way that is both seen and felt at the same time. We are truly thankful.”

— Dogtown Coffee | Santa Monica | Founder

“Vanessa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She has a keen eye for the space she is working with, and doesn’t pressure her clients into a specific direction. Vanessa works with the realm that her clients provide her by asking the right questions, and having clients point out what their ideal design would look like from magazines or pictures. With her solid expertise and talent for design, and her super awesome personality, Vanessa has transformed our living space into something we love and enjoy every day. If we had it to do all over again we would go with Vanessa in a heartbeat!”

— Bernadet and John | Marina del Rey

“Vanessa is a terrific Interior Designer. I hired her for an office/creative studio remodel. She quickly understood the company’s needs and the Mid-Century style they were after and got busy sourcing colors, fabrics, materials, furniture and accessories. She also brought in many fresh ideas to make the space truly unique and bring it all together. She was very respectful and accommodating of budget constraints, which must have made her job more difficult, but she was very understanding and still delivered high quality. Vanessa brings great energy and passion to her work and it shows.”

— Jodi Gusek, PhD

“Vanessa is an excellent Interior Designer. My wife and loved working with her. She’s creative, does her work with integrity on deadlines and budget, and is a joy to work with. We love our new designs in our home. Vanessa also thinks big picture and will look beyond your request to ensure context, aesthetic and overall decor/mood are taken into account. I would work with her again in a heartbeat as we embark on more projects. Highly recommend.”

— Emad Georgy | Experian Marketing Services | SVP

“I hired Vanessa to help decorate my two bedroom condo. We began with a blank canvas and she transformed it into a showcase-worthy space. It was clear from the beginning that she had a passion for her work. She was genuinely interested in getting to know me in order to develop a framework for the pieces that she suggested. We gradually expanded on this as she composed the style that best suited me. It was a fun, collaborative process. Thanks to her versatility with a broad range of styles, she seamlessly incorporated “warmer” pieces into my contemporary aesthetic. When necessary, she was also able to devise cost-effective solutions to challenging problems by thinking outside the box. Her far-reaching network of artisans meant limitless possibilities. We worked at a comfortable pace. Though she had multiple (and larger) projects occurring simultaneously, mine always felt equally important. She made sure that I was completely happy every step of the way. The end result exceeded my expectations. I look forward to another opportunity to utilize her services.”
