My name is Valentina, but you can also call me Val!
I was born and raised in the south of Mexico, and at the ripe age of nineteen I decided to move to Canada, more specifically to Toronto, to pursue my career as Graphic Designer. In 2023, I graduated and got my diploma in Graphic Design and Interactive Media at Toronto Film School; I am currently enrolled at Yorkville University to get a bachelor's degree in Creative Arts. Studying and living abroad has allowed me to meet many amazing and talented people from all over the world, I'm grateful to have learnt so much from them.
As you can tell, I have always been interested in the artistic world, I was a dancer for most of my life, I've taken several professional drawing and painting courses, music courses, I've learned about photography and do it occasionally as a hobby, and back in high school I even did an internship on a digital marketing company from my hometown!
I decided to become a Graphic Designer because is such a broad and complex career, with everything I've learned from school and from freelancing I've been able to hone my skills and become proficient in all Adobe Creative Clouds programs, specializing in Photoshop and Illustrator. Most of my freelance work comes from my Instagram page @val.is.doing.art where I share my passion projects and illustrations, and managing my page has given me a good understanding of social media marketing and algorithms.
I'm always in the lookout to learn new stuff, open to collaborate with other designers and artists, and if you want to learn more about my work please feel free to explore my portfolio and my other socials as I am constantly sharing content there!
Thank you for reading!
Sincerely,
Valentina.
