Boldness
I believe in being open and optimistic, following my instincts, and taking bold creative risks. Embracing failure has allowed me to find innovative solutions to everyday problems by considering different perspectives. I value growth, change, artsy travels, and both familiar and unknown adventures. I’m a minimalist who favors bold typefaces, attention-grabbing colors, and cool prints.
Collaboration
I create positive and respectful spaces where meaningful collaboration can be achieved. Leading by example to demonstrate the value of building lasting friendships with co-workers, guests, customers, and even strangers. Recognizing our differences and using them to become stronger as a group. Listening attentively, doing things with care, and caring about the happiness and success of others.
Preservation
I enjoy our cultural and natural heritage—and my legacy is to promote its preservation. I find calm and authenticity in our oceans, which remind me of the efficiency and resourcefulness of nature. I feel energized when building quality products and campaigns that people can experience on a cultural level—embracing the connection between brands and the arts, food, and street culture.
Strengths
I am a forward-thinking individual who loves to peer over the horizon and describe ideas long before others can imagine them. The future fascinates and pulls me forward into tomorrow. I am comfortable being alone with my thoughts and books, and my mind churns out new and inventive ways of reaching goals.
I am a 1:1 connector, and I feel compelled to go deeper. I thrive in genuine and caring relationships with others, and I enjoy helping individuals improve personally or professionally. I build better relationships one by one. When I can share feedback that helps people move closer to their goals, we understand each other better.
I am an energetic activator who loves a friendly exchange of ideas and influencing people to take action. I ask lots of questions and take pride in drawing out individuals’ finest work, transforming their original thoughts into tangible results. I use ingenuity to tackle every challenge head-on and find a path forward.

"Valentina was one of my favorite directors to work under! She was diligent when it came to managing our projects, and spear-headed a much better structure on our day to day tasks. Val always had a "can-do" attitude about our duties, especially under last minute projects or when under-resourced. Val also has a calm and collected demeanor, which carried over to me in those stressful moments. Aside from her management skills, her design skills were quite valuable on the job—providing insights to both our Art Department and other department heads that helped propel our company forward."
