1. About Me

    I’m Valentina and I tell stories with words and art.

    I currently work in product reviews at Wired magazine, and my written work has been featured in Wired.com, Pilates Style magazine, GoodHousekeeping.com, AISES magazine, HerCampus.com, and various alumni and student publications at Syracuse University. I love technology, design, the intersections of the two, and health and wellness, so most of my work focuses on those topics. Although I was trained in written storytelling, I’ve taught myself the aesthetics editorial design and I take every chance I can to expand my design portfolio. My design work has been featured at Syracuse University’s School of Education, Boston’s Right Question Institute, and the Daily Orange newspaper.

    Right now I’m an East Coast girl in a West Coast world, but I’m enjoying it and looking forward to returning to the Bean Town and the Big Apple—the Bean Apple, if you will. I love food, airplanes, foreign languages, maps, and Jimmy Fallon. I don’t love cabbage and complainers.

    I’d love to work with you on written or design projects—get in touch by emailing valentinapalladino@gmail.com
