Every Click is a Defining Moment
Hi, I’m Val, a Product Designer with 3+ years in UX and Visual Design. I see every click as an opportunity to make an impact. Whether sharing smiles with kids, tumbling waves, or exploring new cities, I draw creativity from everyday moments that shape our experiences.
How It All Began
As a shy kid, even asking for extra ketchup at McDonald’s felt like standing on the edge of a cliff. Everything changed when I discovered Messenger and online game chats—digital spaces where I could express myself freely. Late-night chats, memes, and playful nudges helped me find my voice, sparking my passion for designing technology and experiencing firsthand how it amplifies the way we connect.
My Approach
Today, I design with that same spirit: building intuitive, inclusive experiences that make people feel seen and confident. I'm committed to building seamless systems that empower users and drive meaningful results. Each click, I believe, should add value to a person’s day.

Val is a rare blend of ambition, drive, openness to learning, and humility.
She thrived in a highly ambiguous startup environment, bringing hard design skills and a big heart. She understands human needs and translates them into impactful designs. She expects high quality from her work and never hesitates to dive in and help. I’d hire Val again in a heartbeat.
