Hi there! I’m Val, a research-driven and enthusiastic UX designer. I’ve been in the industry since 2018, after graduating with a unique degree from Bentley University. But the passion started long ago, when I would create greeting cards with my parents’ Hallmark Card Studio CD and build free websites for myself and friends on Moonfruit. Throughout my life, I’ve held on to my creative spirit, which has enabled me to design award-winning digital products and become the UX designer I’ve always wanted to be.
