My dream is to improve everyday lives of people through accessible design.

I believe that it’s an important role of designers to challenge stereotypes and mental defaults, question the commonly used solutions, and create new approaches with the most vulnerable groups in mind.

 

I would like to work more on projects that promote diversity and inclusion.  I feel excited introducing accessibility and user-centered approach in my designs. Thinking that these concepts could improve everyday lives of people with diverse abilities and grant them access to new opportunities is truly inspiring. 

Val Shapiro CV

I am currently employed at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies as a lead designer, working on UX, Webdesign, Branding, Illustration, Animation, Social media Campaigns and many other projects. One of the goals of my work is to introduce accessibility and user-centered approach to our visual communication.

 

Prior to that, I was a part of a design agency where I mastered my skills in both digital and print design while working in a very fast-paced environment and having a broad number of responsibilities.

 

Over the past ten years I have gained valuable experience collaborating on various projects for such organizations as: IFRC, Global Fund, Nestlé, WHO, CERN, ILO, UNICEF, UNHCR, ITU, ATT, Regmifa, IATA, Sipri, Seerave, Wyss Center, Tillotts Pharma, Kudelski Group, etc. My involvement spanned the entire lifecycle of these projects: from initial brainstorming to turning an idea into a working product.

Want to work together?
I’d love to hear from you.
