Hi I'm Valerie! I'm a designer and visual artist creating playful art, stories, and brands. Currently freelancing and open to new opportunities!

Biography

Hi, I'm Valerie! I've worked for over seven years as a Graphic Designer, but I've currently been aiming to pivot into illustration, character design, and concept art. I have extensive knowledge of graphic design principles, branding, grids, and color theory, and I hope to carry that expertise with me into character design and concept art. While I still have a love for books, visual design, and graphic art, I am open and curious to working in new industries, and seeing how production design and concept art works in the film, video game, and animation industries.
