Our “Meet the SANVT Team” series continues – and this time, we’re introducing Alesandra. During the week, she’s our mastermind of digital design, shaping everything from website visuals to creative campaigns. But come the weekend, she trades pixels for paper, diving into analog photography, drawing, and collage. In this post, Alesandra shares what she loves most about her role, the creative freedom she’s found at SANVT, and the little analog rituals that keep her grounded.
Fun fact about Alesandra: on Mondays, she loves to open Spotify and see her weekly discovery music playlist. If it's not the newest tracks from her favourite artists, she loves sounds like 'bolero' from the 50s and practices them herself under the shower.
How long have you been working at SANVT? How would you explain your role at SANVT in a few sentences?
"I started at SANVT in September 2023. I am in charge of the content creation and also design. So, my role involves two roles at the same time: creative creation and art direction. I have to create the content and visualise what is going to happen for the brand. That involves all the touchpoints of the brand: e-commerce (our most important pages) and all communication touchpoints, especially the website. My main focus is to keep the brand alive and updated on the website. And then I work with Carmen to support her with newsletters for social media, but more as a second part of my job."
Like everyone else from the team, we asked Alesandra on how her typical Sunday would look like:
"I have to be honest, I don’t like to plan. I really like to wake up and see what I want to do. So usually for me, my saturdays or sundays or my free-days are really random. Usually, I do yoga on the weekends. I also do some art, I like to draw or collage. Or take a walk, sleep a lot, do phone calls with my family or cook. In my free-time, I don’t like to have a routine and just see what I feel like. I try to be analogic on my weekends and use my hands, that’s my goal."
What do you like most about your work at SANVT? Have you already discovered any differences to other former workplaces?
"I came from advertising agencies, so there you usually work for a client. And here, I am inside. What I like is this the variety of tasks every day and I think this is a really good match with my personality, because I don’t like to do the same all day. Also here, my job doesn’t only include creative direction, but also the execution of designing and I really enjoy working with the tools, like photoshop, FIGMA, In-Design."
What’s your favorite SANVT Essential?
"I have two, I can’t really decide. I like the Longsleeve, I really like the warm Essentials of SANVT. So, I really love the scarf as well. I feel like it’s so big and I can play with it."

"What I really like is the people. It’s always so easy to interact and to feel safe, like I feel in a safe space with my co-workers. For me it’s not the trips we make or the afterworks, it’s the people I work with. I love my mornings with Katrin or my lunches with Carmen."
Good vibes instead of Afterwork events: What Alesandra values about her job at SANVT are the relationships with the rest of the team
Since she's our Creative Marketing & Design Manager, Alesandra needs variety in her work. Something she was denied in her previous jobs, but which she particularly appreciates in her job at SANVT. But it's not just in a work context that the native Venezuelan likes variety. In her private life, she likes to drift through the day and pursue her favorite free-time activities, such as yoga, analog art and music. Stay tuned for the next and last (!) blog post from our blog series "Team Talks: Behind the scenes at SANVT"...
