Valentina was born on 6 February 1982: she is the result of a pleasant afternoon of love between two high school students.

Since she was a child, sitting at the desk at her mother´s college during the class of civil law, she preferred drawing and disturbing the teacher. 

Growing up, she widened her interests watching cartoons during all her childhood. In the end, the main characters became her behavioural models.

She attended the high school and she deepened her artistic culture reading comic books and spending endless afternoons in front of computer. 

Unavoidably, since her cultural background and her attitudes, her parents - who are not yet fully adult and wise - decided to subsidize the course of illustration and animation at the expensive European Institute of Design (Thank you Mom!). 

Since 2005 she is a freelance illustrator, she works in Milan for several advertising agencies and she put all her passion and skills in her job. 

She is specialized in illustration for children, she draws with pencil and colors with Photoshop. 

And everyone lived happily ever after.
