Hi, I’m Valeria Montoya, a digital designer with 4+ years bridging brand identity, UX/UI, and performance marketing across Colombia and Australia. I translate business goals into visual systems—from Figma prototypes and Shopify UX to motion graphics and conversion-focused Meta Ads. I founded Veyra Active, owning the full pipeline from brand strategy to e-commerce UI and paid social. I’m bilingual, remote-ready, and available now. I’m passionate about crafting cohesive brand experiences that convert, from logo systems to product interfaces, and I enjoy collaborating with strategy and marketing teams to drive measurable growth.
