About

Hi, I’m Valerie, a 2D animator, concept artist and illustrator. I work as an independent freelance artist and have experience pitching projects, managing small teams, and navigating both pre-production and post-production stages.

I love collaborating with diverse teams remotely, designing characters and props, and bringing stories to life through bold color, dynamic posing, and clear storytelling. My toolkit includes Maya, Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate, and Procreate Dreams, among others.
