Hello. Hola. Bon Jour. Buongiorno. Ohayō gozaimasu.

 

I'm Val.

I'm a creative explorer and critical thinker.

I believe in the art of accidental adventure. My aesthetic has been honed by years of metaphorically stacking rocks. I drink matcha tea without sweetener and listen to the 'spa' channel while working.

​

my strengths:

​

-- extensive knowledge of design history and cultural theory informs my design aesthetic --

​

-- affinity towards typographic nuance and visual relationships with acute attention to detail --

​

-- interest in cultures and human centered design gives me a humanitarian approach to problem-solving --

​

-- Publications and editorial design, Event branding and collateral, Design for Good projects including branding --
