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 and product design with a Bachelor’s in psychology, which allows me to approach design problems from a humanistic mindset. I am deeply interested in what makes people think and behave the way they do, and this passion directly influences my work.

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...
