Monica Vallejo Portrait

I am Monica Vallejo, an award-winning designer, storyteller, and strategist who thrives on creativity and collaboration. My design thinking approach is rooted in curiosity and an eagerness to experiment, always exploring new methods and trends.

I believe that bold ideas flourish in supportive environments—where teamwork, open dialogue, and shared vision lead to breakthrough solutions. Versatile and resourceful, I bring together creativity, analytical thinking, and strategic insight to inspire both teams and clients.

I am passionate about building dynamic teams and mentoring the next generation of designers. Collaborative creativity is at the heart of my philosophy—I believe the best ideas are born from diverse perspectives and collective effort. By sharing my knowledge and nurturing talent, I help foster environments where designers can grow, innovate, and challenge each other to reach new heights.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Marketing, a diploma in Branding, and certifications in both Electronic Media Design (Web design, video production and editing, and Interactive Design) and Communication and Ideation (Graphic Design).

My career has allowed me to work with in-house designers, agency designers, freelancers and clients from various industries to produce omnichannel campaigns. Some clients include VanDusen Botanical Garden, Alphabet deal, Yo-good, Juice Zone, Ruoravaan, and Dinosaurs Unearthed.

I was the Creative Director for Escents Aromatherapy, and my work took me to NYC to develop the Choxi eCommerce brand, including Brand Systems, UX strategy and Digital Marketing Strategy. Back in Vancouver, I have had the opportunity to work on a broad range of digital projects, including a Graphical User Interface for touchscreens, a visual system for Langara.ca, Social Media Avatars, and UX/UI for Langara Global, Hello Possibilities, SharePoint, Langara.ca, Workday, and Beyond49.

In my free time, I practice drawing and experimenting with patterns and textures so I can translate my designs and illustrations and then into a final product. I love seeing how it starts with a blank page and becomes something tangible and functional.
