About Me.

Started designing for fun.

Now I cry over misaligned pixels.

Hey :)

I'm Valentina, a UI and product designer currently working as a design system designer and design lead. My expertise spans brand design and building challenging interfaces. My particular interest lies in bridging the gap between design and development, pushing the boundaries of digital experiences to create solutions that are both visually striking and functionally powerful.

1.

I
design
digital
products.

I
spend
my
time,
every
day,
immersed
in
designing
digital
products.
Sometimes
I’m
the
one
pushing
pixels,
other
times
I’m
directing
others
to
bring
an
outstanding
vision
to
life.

2.

You’ll
often
catch
me
drawing.

Drawing
is
my
personal
outlet.
It’s
where
I
work
without
client
constraints
or
external
limitations,
where
I
allow
my
creativity
to
flow
the
most,
making
it
a
practice
I
value
immensely.

3.

In
my
free
time,
I
use
dev
mode.

While
design
is
my
core
passion,
I
believe
in
breaking
down
barriers
between
ideation
and
execution.
To
this
end,
I
dedicate
my
spare
time
to
learning
various
coding
languages,
enhancing
my
ability
to
bring
designs
to
life.

4.

When
I
can,
I
design
other
stuff.

My
expertise
extends
beyond
product
design.
I
regularly
take
on
freelance
projects
and
personal
ventures
outside
the
UI/UX
realm,
exploring
areas
like
editorial
design,
3D
modeling,
interior
design,
and
more.

My
Approach

I
focus
on
understanding
a
project's
core
needs,
which
drives
my
constant
learning
and
improvement.
I'm
always
looking
for
ways
to
push
myself
and
others
to
do
our
best,
considering
every
option
before
making
a
decision.
I
see
the
process
as
flexible,
adjusting
my
approach
to
fit
each
project's
specific
challenges
and
resources.
For
me,
there's
no
one-size-fits-all
adaptability
is
essential.
