The name’s Valerie. I’m a lettering artist and muralist, daylighting as a graphic designer in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I started off my creative journey, not on a creative journey at all. In all her teenage wisdom, high-school me decided that art was not a stable career and went on to pursue a science degree. After four years of chemistry, biology, poultry, beef, and equine classes, I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a hard-earned, but mediocre GPA and a B.S. in Animal Science.
The journey was (and still is) long and winding, but I’m glad to say that after working in a zoo, an animal shelter and a research lab I eventually stumbled my way back to art and design!
When I’m not pushing pixels, my favorite projects to work on are brightly colored, whimsically styled illustrations, and letters with loads of personality. If you’re in need of anything that fits that description send me a DM and let’s make something beautiful together.
