Art  from my heart to yours

Hi, I am Valerie Stroukova, I am an artist and multidisciplinary designer focused on creating meaningful experiences from concept through execution. My work spans a wide range of design disciplines, including concept development, prototyping, product design, branding, graphic design, packaging, web design, marketing, UI/UX, and AI, with a focus on the bigger picture; how design feels, functions, and communicates across every touchpoint.

Over the past 14 years, I have worked with numerous global brands creating products and collections, guiding projects from initial concept through mass manufacturing. Along the way, I have also founded and built several brands of my own, giving me experience from both the creative and entrepreneurial perspectives.

 

In recent years, my practice has evolved toward a more holistic approach, blending art and design with mindfulness. I focus on meditative art and art therapy, exploring creativity as a tool for presence, healing, and meaningful human connection.
