The mission of my work is to reframe how we value things (and people) to transform business culture and society. I pursue it through narrative analysis and story design using conversation as a sense-making tool.
A new narrative that reflects the reality of a business generates energy in its culture. You can’t get change without energy; the best predictor of longevity is available energy before and after a given change.
See if you’re a good fit to work together.

“When our company was rebranding, we had no idea where to begin. We knew that our current product name was not getting people excited about our technology and our business, and we wanted to make a meaningful change. Valeria talked us through several different strategies for rebranding and helped us map out key metrics for success with selecting our new brand. Her advice was invaluable, and we saw the positive effect of our new name immediately. I would highly recommend working with Valeria to create a brand that highlights your company.”
– Elsa Swanson, Cofounder and CEO, Synotrac
