Michelle Valentin
I’m a UI/UX Visual Digital Designer who builds intuitive interfaces and cohesive visual application systems for web, marketing, financial products, and BAS automation engineering teams. I work quickly, collaborate seamlessly with cross‑functional partners, and adapt to evolving project needs.
ABOUT ME
I support UI visual design, scalable UX automation workflows, responsive component frameworks, and QA‑ready documentation across global asset‑component systems and multi‑application BAS products. My goal is to strengthen digital interactions throughout the BAS ecosystem—elevating brand presence, improving operator clarity, and driving measurable engagement.
I transform complex building‑system data into user‑centered experiences through thoughtful storytelling visual hierarchy, responsive layouts, pain‑point discovery, and strategic visualization. I create UI panels and devices, workflow visuals, and create custom component libraries that help engineers, technicians, and facility operators interact with complex building systems for deployment and installation more easily and accurately.
