I'm Val.
Profile
"Creative" is a term I feel defines me perfectly, along with "dog-lover", "cozy sock enthusiast" and "candle hoarder". I have been creative and artistic since a young age and the fire has only grown bigger and brighter.​
Experience
Since graduating from Kent State University in 2005, I have hit the ground running.
I started in print and have a high understanding and respect for the industry. As my skills progressed and grew, so did my talent in digital marketing design. I am proud
to say I am highly skilled in both divisions of design. Being the daughter of a seasoned reporter, I also have a natural eye for writing (Thanks, Dad!).
​
From doing press checks at the Columbus Dispatch to developing templates for numerous platforms in the medical design industry, understanding regulatory and approval processes, I have developed a wide range of experience.
