MY STORY

I'm Vanessa Jeswani — founder, builder, traveler.
After visiting 40+ countries and leading marketing for major brands, I launched Nomad Lane: travel accessories for those always en route. Today, I’m building, parenting, and paving new paths.

THE JOURNEY

Nomad Lane was born from real-world experience. After traveling to more than 40 countries, my husband and I set out to design travel bags that truly meet the needs of modern travelers. Since then, our products have been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Travel + Leisure, and embraced by thousands of seasoned travelers worldwide.

LIFE TODAY

Today, I’m a mom of two young kids, an entrepreneur navigating the world of e-commerce, and an advocate for building businesses that create freedom — not burnout. Through speaking engagements, collaborations, and content, I aim to inspire others to chart their own journeys with intention.

I grew up in the Philippines and moved to the United States at 18, driven by a desire to carve my own path. I graduated from Emory University's Goizueta Business School - a foundation that taught me to blend strategy, creativity, and human connection.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Before launching Nomad Lane, I spent over a decade leading digital marketing programs for brands like American Express, British Airways, and Estée Lauder, as well as helping startups scale. That experience taught me not just how to build brands — but how to build brands that last.
