Hi, I’m Valentina.

Growing up moving twelve times across different cultures shaped how I think about communication, adaptability, and connection. Those experiences continue to inform my design values today, guiding me toward creating clear, thoughtful experiences grounded in empathy for people’s contexts.

I’m currently a senior at the University of Washington studying Human-Centered Design and Engineering , where I focus on building thoughtful, resilient products. My work spans interaction design,
physical computation, user research, and system-level thinking.

Currently, I’m the design lead for a UW startup called Eat Together , where I help define product direction and craft real-world product experiences. Outside of design, I compete on the UW climbing team and spend time capturing quiet moments in nature through photography.
