Valéry Goulet ||||| | Designer ||| Illustrator
I am a designer and illustrator. I was born in Québec, where I grew up and learned plenty of great things that made me a strong, imaginative and dedicated person. My formal education is in graphic design and multimedia, however my entire life has always revolved around drawing ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil.

I absolutely love what I do. In October 2002, I moved to Alberta in search of new inspiration, opportunities and other great things to learn. I currently reside in Edmonton and work full time as an Art Director in the graphic design industry for McRobbieOptamedia. www.mcrobbieoptamedia.com

Over the past few years I have also had the amazing opportunity to work on a lot of exciting projects on both corporate and personal levels through the company I founded, Valerydesignwrks. My work has been exhibited in different galleries and I participated in special projects such as longboards, clothing, ceramic and wall application designs. These projects opened up a wealth of fun commissioned projects that also rewarded me with awards, something that I definitely take a lot of pride in.

If you have more questions or if you would like to have a look at my resume, please feel free to contact me at info@valerydesignwrks.ca
