about me.
Hello, I am Vanessa Sahm, an experienced freelance fashion and sportswear designer and a mountain lover from Munich, Germany.
In 2009 I graduated from the Hochschule Niederrhein/ University of Applied Sciences in Mönchengladbach with a degree in Fashion Design.
Since then, I have gained over 14 years of experience working as a designer for internationally successful clothing companies, specializing in sports and activewear. Regular trips to Asia have allowed me to develop a deep understanding of production processes and foster efficient collaboration with suppliers.
I have worked as a freelance designer since 2023, developing collection concepts, designs and trend forecasts for my clients in the sportswear, activewear and fashion sectors. I approach my projects in a creative, imaginative and structured way. Innovation, passion and attention to detail are reflected in my products. In addition to my design career, I am a certified yoga teacher, which gives me a deeper insight into the needs and requirements of sportswear.

The combination of fashion and sport is my passion and the focus of my work.
I am fascinated and enthusiastic about designing and developing sports and activewear products that combine innovation, functionality, high quality and sustainability with a stylish, modern look.
In fashion, as an experienced designer, I seek to create products that are not only modern, but also incorporate sporty elements to achieve a look that is always contemporary and exciting.
