Dear Viewer:
I am Valentina, the owner and principal of Valentina - Interiors & Designs, my international designing firm established in 1990. I have had quite interesting projects during my career, I have worked with a variegated group of beautiful people and received quite a few awards and recognitions.
I am Italian born, educated in both Europe and United States and expatriate to the US a few years ago.

In my practice, I focus on the Client’s World and I design following their dreams and needs. In many publications it has been said that my success is my ability as an artist to create the unexpected to stimulate my Client's emotions. To translate that in simple words, I would have to say that:

1. I can resolve design’s  challenges people might have.
2. People buy my services because:
A. my style is the customer's personal style.
B. I involve my Clients in every decisions and I help them facilitating those decisions. I help Clients obtain what they want and need. My Client’s interests always come before my own interests.
C. My motto is integrity, honesty, sincerity.  Being also an authentic, easy going and sociable designer, the design process becomes a very easy and pleasant one.
3. My design work is directed towards bringing added value to my Client’s home, exceeding their expectations and save them money while they enjoy the class and luxury I have put into their homes.
4. The final rewards for my Clients are that "I am a long term investment and not a short term expense" and that the spaces I create for them are larger, functional and will nurture their souls and vital forces.
