We worked together for little over a year, on a few highly challenging projects that perfectly illustrated Valentin's strong work ethic, perseverance and talent backed by research and thoughtfulness. Candid in sharing and receiving feedback, Valentin always paid attention to details of extreme importance in a service-based business—being on time, thorough and receptive. I'm grateful for the things I've learned while working with you, Valentin!

Dec 2017 - Present
Creating Digital products and content as a certified Freelance Visual Designer. While mostly focused on UI, Interaction and Web Design in the past years, I also have extensive experience with Branding projects and Marketing visuals. I have taken on diverse projects for small start-ups, for individuals in need of creative work and for large companies. I have worked on product design (apps and websites), branding and visual identities (logo design, Style Guides, Creative Strategy and any associated visuals), illustrations, social media visuals (banners, covers, GIFs, etc) and other graphic design projects. I have produced complete materials for both digital and print environments (including brochures, posters, stickers, flyers, roll-ups), so I am well acquainted with all relevant industry topics. The skills and knowledge acquired from previous job positions in diverse fields prove essential in the creative field of design as well: I carefully listen to client needs and always strive to deliver the best results on time, so that the individuals and companies I work with are satisfied with their project outcome. Experienced with tools such as Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, AfterEffects, InVision and Premiere Pro but also in free-hand sketching and drawing, I am always ready for the next project. https://www.valentintoia.com Show less

To find the best possible solutions, I have worked closely with various cross-functional teams within the company, from creative and technical teams to sales and business departments. Over time this has allowed me to gather experience in problem solving, debugging, situational awareness, issue escalation and time management.I have organized and held training sessions on communication, customer support and software usage to different teams within the company.This position has helped me obtain experience in successfully working with software-development projects from a support and project perspective.
