Hi, I’m Valentin (Valy), a game design graduate with a passion for crafting intuitive interfaces and engaging visuals. I enjoy turning complex ideas into accessible experiences, whether it’s a polished game mechanic, a clean UI, or a motion-graphics sequence for video content. I value collaboration, clear communication, and a proactive approach to solving creative challenges. I bring hands-on experience across Unity, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and the Adobe suite, plus strong skills in UI/UX and frontend development. I’m excited to contribute to multidisciplinary teams that push the boundaries of games, digital media, and interactive design.
