As the Buyer and Merchandiser for Maria Neu Interiors, Design Studio & Boutique, Vanessa keeps her eye out for the latest developments in on-trend home décor and brand new home furnishing lines. Vanessa knows our clients and knows how to keep the store fresh with an abundance of variety. The “ooo's” and “ahhh's” heard as customers enter the boutique, often referred to as a “gem” or an “oasis” in historic Downtown Brentwood, provide affirmation of what a truly delightful and enchanting atmosphere she's created. With an avant-garde approach to window design, Vanessa's creativity shines each season as she finds new ways to captivate Oak Street passers-by.

After earning her degree at FIDM, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, Vanessa returned to the Bay Area, eager to begin her creative quest and be with her close-knit family. Who knew that translating and ultimately bringing to fruition the charm of the boutique envisioned by her mother, Maria Neu, would grow into such a delightful familial collaboration. Vanessa works closely with her mother to bring to life, uphold the vision, and further grow the aspirations of Maria Neu Interiors.
