Hey, I'm Valentina!
What I create and believe in probably tells you more than any introduction could. These are four things that drive me and shape how I work.

Teaching & Mentoring
I occasionally teach and give workshops at places like EKA or Copenhagen University about how design really works in practice. I love the curiosity and creativity of students just starting out — and it’s rewarding to help ease their worries about entering the industry.

Design is a Team Sport
I see design as a team effort with a shared goal, not a personal art project. I try to leave ego out of the process, question my own preferences and bias, and focus on what actually serves users and the business. I save the “artistic expression” for my hobbies, see more below.

Creative Experimentation
Outside of work, I explore ideas through my side art project. I scan flowers, objects, walls, then transform them into motion experiments using AI. It’s my creative playground, where curiosity leads the way.

Lifelong Learning
For six years, I’ve been part of a reading club that explores design, AI, history and philosophy.I keep learning through courses and workshops too, it keeps my thinking fresh and my skills up-to-date.
