Whatâs your favorite piece of equipment?
â¨Val loves the SM74 printer. Sheâs always loved offset printingâwith all the components and capabilities of the machine, and the way it reflects the craft of older-style printing. She appreciates the color saturation and depth the printer provides.
Whatâs a project youâre particularly proud of?
â¨A few years back, Val worked on a series of brochures for Exactech from start to finish. It was a multistep process with very detailed work. The end result was a wonderful array of colors and textures, all overseen by her and her eye for design.
When youâre not at Alta, what do you love to do?
â¨Val is a dedicated gymnast who loves weightlifting and pushing herself to the limit. She enjoys hot yoga and anything fitness-related. Travel isâand always will beâher first love. Any chance she gets to grab a bag and hit the road, she takes it. She loves exploring new and exotic places. Side note: Val speaks three languages fluently.
What has surprised you the most about print in your time at Alta?
â¨Print itself has surprised her the most â the endless possibilities it holds. Sheâs continually amazed by the level of detail required to complete a job from start to finish. Even when the team receives the most challenging files, she finds it rewarding to breathe new life into the design and help achieve a wonderful end result.
