My name is Valerie and I like to make cool things.
I have 15+ years of experience in illustration and visual communication design. As a freelancer, I worked on all sorts of projects, including graphic novels and web comics, VLT cabinets and games, product packaging, branding, album artwork, work for non-profit organisations, and more.
In 2010, I began making websites. Although I began with just HTML & CSS, I quickly fell in love with programming and returned to school to learn full-stack development.
Currently, I teach digital media and information technology courses at the post-secondary level. Sometimes, this includes things on the front-end (HTML/CSS/JS, UI/UX, design thinking and user-testing), while other times it includes things on the back-end (PHP, Python, SQL, etc.).
