HOLA!
I'm Valeria — a Senior Motion Designer and Creative Director based in Vancouver. I grew up in the vibrant city of Santiago, Chile, where I studied Graphic Design and discovered my love for motion.
Over the past four years, I had the privilege of being part of the Monstercat team, contributing to a wide range of visual content for one of North America’s most influential independent record labels — including visualizers, lyric videos, branding, and mascot illustrations. But I wasn’t just animating — I also led creative direction for campaigns and video content, crafting concepts, guiding teams, and shaping cohesive, engaging visual stories.
I love designing intricate pieces, breathing life into every detail, and connecting with audiences through motion and storytelling.
Music holds a special place in my heart, and when I’m not immersed in my work, cuddling with my cat Marble, or exploring the city, you’ll likely find me enjoying the lights and visuals at a live show.
