Let me introduce myself!

Hi! I'm Vanessa Matte

I'm a freelance illustrator from Ottawa, Canada, and the owner of The Digital Siren. It's very nice to meet you!

My story:

In 2018, I left my cushy studio job and jumped straight into unstability, fun, creativity and madness! I now spend my days illustrating children's books with publishers from around the world and creating digital planners and digital stickers for my Etsy shop.

My background....a quick overview 🤪

Im fully trained as an artist, I actually studied traditional animation in college and following that I went of to work at a mobile game studio for several years. I left that studio three years ago and I became freelance illustrator. Since then I have been doing mainly children book illustration. 

It is really really fun but I had a lot of downtime so I decided to start my own Etsy Shop for about a year now!

What you should know about me 😁

A few things to note about me! Maybe you can relate?

  • I'm obsessed with pink! Growing up I was too cool for pink, but now that I'm a grown ass adult I've embraced my true tastes and covered my closet with 90% pink stuff. It's slightly scary!
  • My first language is French... but not from France, I speak the weird dialect of Quebec, Canada! My accent is totally weird hihi
  • I'm 1000% a cat person and lucky to have my little princess Chloe, a 3 year old dark gray domestic short hair, grace my apartment with her presence!

I aim to create products that are:

  • Drop-dead gorgeous! I don't compromise on quality and spend weeks and months painstakingly hand-drawing every detail of every product. If it couldn't be in a freaking museum, it's not good enough for my customers!
  • Decorative and functional. Who says it can't be both? :) I always make my products useful but also cute AF!
  • Unleashing your creativity. I resonate most with the creative and "stationery geek" part of digital planning. At the Digital Siren, I aim to provide you options to transform your planner into the most beautiful and stylish around!

Why am I part of this project? And why I think that you should support it.

As an artist, I truly believe in the power of collaboration to unleash our unlimited potential.

By myself, I'm often overwhelmed and don't have time to achieve everything I hope to achieve.

 I'm only one person! With the help of other fabulous creators, we can bring you a membership that's truly the best in the market and gives you SO MUCH value.

Here we can have fun, create, share, teach... It's awesome!

Something peeked my interest on Etsy and I came across SUCDECOCO and their adorable digital goods.

 

I was instantly interested again, now digital planning is fun for me!

What Customers Are Saying about my work

SuzGupta - Happy customer

I'm so pleased with this pretty set and the kind support from the artist and her Facebook group. This is my first purchase of a full kit to go with a digital planner. It's definitely motivational as we head into fall to have these lovely images adorning the pages. I think I'm going to use these in work notebooks too!

Carla Carrasco - Happy Customer

Loooove it! Beautiful artwork, and I love that she included the undecorated templates too. Super happy with the landscape version. My favorite part is that it’s easy on my eyes. I love the little details like the astrological signs for each month, and how it comes with different templates in case you want a different spread. Stickers are beautiful and give you lots of decoration possibilities, and dating it is super easy, too! Thanks Vanessa 😍 this planner is perfect!
