She gained valuable professional experience at a series of architecture and design practices, most recently working as a freelance designer at art and design collective, Assemble.

 

She has a particular interest in the narrative-led aspects of design, including installations, theatre and set design, which stems from her academic work and continued in her professional practice, including a short assistant position at Es Devlin's design studio and a long term involvement with brand experience design agency, Amplify.

​

As well as installation work, Valeria has solid experience working on large and complex architecture and infrastructure projects across RIBA work stages 1 to 6. Past employers include 5th Studio, Hawkins\Brown and Asif Khan.
