ABOUT
Who. What. Where. When. Why.
Hey, I’m Val — a curious creative with a knack for bespoke brandingand intuitive marketing.
I studied and received my degree in Graphic Design but my professional experiences always seemed to steer me towards the marketing side of things. I believe this intersection has given me an edge within the creative community. My designs aren't just "pretty", they're intentional.
Throughout my 12 years of 'real world' design experience, I have had the opportunity to work both on the agency side and internally for a family-owned business. These two very different experiences helped shape me into the resourceful, well-rounded, and collaborative designer I am today.
I’m incredibly passionate about helping businesses uncover their brand story with strategic design that illuminates who they are at their core.
