Hi, I’m Valerie

I guide people and organizations through transformative thresholds — those complex spaces where laden with hidden opportunity.

After fourteen years working at the intersection of brand, strategic foresight, culture, and systems design, I’ve learned that durable change requires two things: external systems that support us, and internal systems that steady us. My work lives at the seam between those worlds.

A bit about how I got here

My path has taken me through public health crises, social innovation work, equity-centered design, philanthropy, and creative strategy — usually in spaces where people are navigating pressure, ambiguity, or transition. Over time, I learned to see the patterns beneath the chaos: systems crack when there’s no coherence, and people burn out when there’s no inner stability. That realization shaped the way I practice. I help leaders, teams, and individuals build the kind of clarity and resilience that makes real change possible — on the inside and the outside, at the same time.
