WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
AT DESIGNER VACA
_
Relaxing. Sleeping in. Instagram-ing. Pool Time. Dreaming. Collaborating. Sipping Drinks & Eating Tacos. Making Friends. Learning. Business Chats. & More.
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
For the past 5 years, we've gathered together with female graphic and web designers from all over the world to dream, relax, collaborate, share experiences, and learn from each other. This intimate environment has allowed for a relaxed anti-conference feel creating space for amazing connections and beautiful relationships to develop. We're all in this together! So we thought, let's actually be together!
In 2012, industry-leading graphic & web designers Alyssa Yuhas & Promise Tangeman founded Designer Vaca to fulfill their desire to step away from their computers, learn, share experiences & recharge alongside influential women. With more than 20 combined years of industry experience and a client list filled with some of the web’s biggest brands and influencers, Alyssa & Promise curate Designer Vaca as a must-not-miss event year after year.
