About

Valerie ParizeaultAbout Valerie Parizeault

Hi there! My name is Valerie Parizeault, I am a canadian artist and graphic designer. I have a College degree in graphic design, a BACC in visual and multi media art with an education option and a business training. Although my diplomas give you a glimpse of my knowledge, I think my story is more relevant to know.

Fifteen years ago, I left the world of the communication agencies after a total slump. I did what seems logical at my young age of 21, I enrolled myself at the University in arts and education. I was convinced that my happiness would be in teaching art. Fast forward 5 years, diploma in hand, I am doing substitute gigs in the schools of the Montreal area and I am unhappy and anxious more than ever. Despite my talent in creation, my ability to teach and an animation experience, courtesy of my 6 years working in summer camps, I just did not fit into the school system. If I tell you this lightly today, I can assure you that I was rather depressed and in deep questioning at that time.

I started a sideline while doing my job of substitute teaching: I created a collection of handmade jewelry that I sold on the web and in craft fairs (this was pre-Etsy folks!). I will always remember the decisive night when I cried, my boyfriend (now my husband) by my side, wondering what I, Valerie, REALLY wanted to do. And I whispered the answer: be my own boss.

My jewelry company lasted 2 years. 2 years of intense training in which I tested my market, learned to code websites, participated in networking. 2 years of trial-and-error. At the end of this time, I made my first adult decision of my life: I dropped the jewelry to return to graphic and web design. A heartbreaking decision? Not really: my jewelry was not profitable and I wanted to create a company that would finance my dreams!

I worked for more than 10 years in my graphic design company, with its ups and downs. In 2014, completely burned out, I got really sick and I had to slow down my activities.

Now, 5 years later, I took my first heart decision: to return to my brushes waiting for me wisely in the workshop. I still take graphic design projects however I devote myself more seriously to my art and I am available for illustrative gigs.

Valérie is a very creative person who understood the image I was looking for from our first meeting. Her approach and her work are current, up to date, in terms of design. She understands how to manage requests from external sources and suppliers, and knows how to manage expectations. So far it has exceeded my expectations in terms of product work and I intend to continue our association in the long term.
