For this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming Vanessa Sicotte, design expert and founder of Damask & Dentelle, a digital platform dedicated to interior design. She is known for an approachable, vintage-inspired aesthetic and also hosts the Déco Thérapie podcast.

Before launching Damask & Dentelle, Vanessa graduated in Marketing, then earned a Master's degree in Art History from Concordia University, and worked in the corporate world, including at Louis Vuitton and Canon. She created Damask & Dentelle after deciding to follow her passion for décor, and today embraces a new challenge by joining the NATA PR team.

Vanessa explains how she defines herself first as a mom, passionate woman, and traveler at heart. These aspects have shaped her professional practice in design and as a storyteller. She built her career around one idea: our spaces are never neutral; they reflect who we are.

She shares that Damask & Dentelle was born from her desire to democratize design and show that everyday beauty is found in the details. The name represents Quebec heritage—damask in English and dentelle in French—embodying the blend of heritage and modernity that defines her design vision.

What surprised her most about PR is how deeply it's rooted in human relationships. Behind every press release and strategy, there's dialogue—a way to build trust with media, clients, and communities. This balance between long-term strategy and daily agility excites her enormously.

To brands relying only on social media, Vanessa explains that while social media is essential, it doesn't replace the depth of an article or interview. PR adds credibility and resonance that lasts over time, anchoring stories in collective memory.

She sees each social platform as a room in a house: each has its function, but together they tell a coherent story. For the future, she hopes to serve the NATA PR team and remain curious and open to new encounters, as PR, like design, is all about human connections.
