Hi! You can call me Val.
I’m a Minnesota native currently living in Minneapolis with my husband and rescue pup.
I come to UX with a BA in Psychology and MS in HCI, both of which have shaped my approach to design. I am deeply interested in what makes people think and behave the way they do, and I love being able to craft solutions with this in mind.
Prior to entering this field, I worked at a group home for mentally ill adults which taught me so much about the value of meeting people where they’re at and leading with kindness.
Outside of work I love film photography, music, travel, gardening, and logic puzzles. I’m also an avid cook, baker, and cocktail maker.

Right now I am...
