About
Hola! My name is Valentina Gilly and welcome to my studio! I’m a UX/UI Designer with a deep passion for creating spaces where technology and art seamlessly come together. I believe the world is as artistic as you make it, and that’s the energy I bring to my designs. My goal is to deliver thoughtful, effective solutions with authenticity.
I’m originally from Venezuela, and my Caribbean roots influence everything I do. To me, design is about blending the beauty of nature with functionality, creating something that feels as natural as it is intuitive.

Venezuela’s National Golf Team 2013-2022
Sports have always been a big part of my life. From a young age, I dedicated myself to golf. My dad introduced it to me and I had the opportunity to represent Venezuela in 7 South American Junior Championships, 2 World Amateur Golf Championships, and 3 Pre-Olympic Games, among other international events.
This led me to the U.S. on a full college scholarship, where I earned my undergraduate degree at Texas Tech University and a Master’s at Santa Clara University. I was also part of Venezuela’s National Golf Team from 2013 to 2022.
After an elbow injury forced me to step away from golf, I turned to running. In just one year, I completed 3 marathons, including a 30-mile ultra, and discovered a new passion. Running became not just a sport, but a community- especially in New York City- where I realized how powerful it is in connecting people.
I’m inspired by those who use sports to bring others together and help them move, grow, and connect. My goal is to motivate others to embrace the art of movement.
