About me
Hi! I'm Valeria, and I believe great design starts with understanding people as well as having fun and enjoying the process of creating, designing and experiencing.
I graduated from DePaul University with a B.S in Game Design and minors in Psychology and Animation. Through my career I learned many skills from level design, video editing, sound design, storytelling, to understanding how humans brains work, what are aspects that catch peoples attention in ads, what colors are associated with positive feelings, and writing and revising essays and case studies.
As a designer, I'm passionate about creating experiences that are intuitive, engaging, and memorable. My work combines UI/UX design, game design, visual design, and digital media, giving me the flexibility to tackle projects from multiple creative angles.
I enjoy transforming ideas into experiences that feel polished, purposeful, and fun to interact with. Whether I'm designing an interface, developing a game concept, or creating digital content, my goal is always the same: make something that people connect with.
I'm always excited to take on new challenges, collaborate with creative teams, and continue growing as both a designer and a storyteller.
