I’m Val, a graphic designer and product developer based in Missoula, Montana. I love bringing ideas to life, whether that’s through branding, product design, or quirky stop-motion projects. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in my garden, chasing my curious toddler, or lining up shots at local pinball tournaments. I’m happiest when I’m blending creativity with a bit of play, and I’m always looking for the next project that sparks both.
