About •bindu••
Â
We believe that within each of us lies a story waiting to be told, an exciting path ready to be walked. When you decide to take your place in the world, you begin the adventure of bringing forward the unique gift only you can offer. That’s what we call your Big Idea.
'bindu' means dot •, the starting point, the smallest particle in the universe from which all creation has the potential to unfold. It’s where everything begins, including your own story and the unique mark you’re meant to leave on the world.
Hello, I’m Vanessa,Concept Strategist and the founder of bindu. Once upon a time, I was working in the corporate world, crafting pitches and strategies for well known (media) brands.
But after 25 years in studios, meeting rooms, and late-night projects, I realized my true passion lies with people. People just like you;Â original minds with an open heart, an eye for design, and a love for a big laugh.
I’m a lifelong seeker of inspiration, whether in the pages of a book, the halls of a museum, or in the theatre. Now, I help others turn their Big Idea into reality, using everything I’ve learned in my professional years and life’s unexpected twists and turns.Â
How about you?
Tell me your story; the dreams you’ve perhaps tucked away for long, the challenges keeping you up at night, and that brilliant Big Idea waiting for you to bring it into the world. I have a knack for 'reading' people and turning their uniqueness into standout concepts, products and stories.
Let’s start by getting it out of your head together by having a chat. I promise, no awkward sales pitch, just a good exploration of your vision and ideas. That will at least deliver a lot of new insights and options. If that feels good, schedule a call.
Creative Kickstart Session (Zoom)
30 minutes
Not sure if we’re a match? Let’s connect! In this free call, we’ll explore your goals, challenges, and whether working together is the right next step.
Sometimes, one conversation is all it takes to see the bigger picture, without committing to the whole staircase (yet).
Single Session (Live)
1,5 hours
Sometimes all you are looking for is a single session to have a fresh look on your ideas and strategies. A sounding board session where we test your ideas, uncover blind spots, and spark new directions.
Perfect for quick decision-makers who want clarity (fast).
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
Seeing is believing and we get that. If you're looking for something special, with more originality. Someone who has got your back, that comes with surprising answers, anchored in years of experience with the big players, it can be an easy, safe first step to have a chat. With Vanessa Zarfdjian.
