Hi there! I’m Valeria Catán.

I design in collaboration with Leaders and Changemakers — who are moving humanity forward — to manifest their fullest visual expression and share it with the world.

I coach Creatives and highly Committed Beings — who are ready to open their hearts in relationship and creative expression —to connect to their purpose, their power and awaken their soul path.

A glimpse into my journey

I was born in Mexico City and grew up around the world as the daughter of a culturally-driven diplomat and an opera-loving financial executive. I was raised with a deep love and curiosity for art, culture diversity, and entrepreneurship while living in Buenos Aires, Brussels, Paris, New York, Barcelona and Madrid, until realizing post pandemic that I wholeheartedly desired to grow roots again in my hometown.

For over 10+ years I have worked helping artists, creative leaders, and changemakers launch their visions on to the world. In 2021 I joined Summit Impact as their Head of Design where I feel grateful to be on a discovery journey together with artists, entrepreneurs, global explorers, humble innovators, and diverse thinkers from around the world as we develop positive, impactful relationships through dynamic shared experiences.

People I work with have performed in stadiums, played at Carnegie Hall, won a Grammy, published books, recorded with Plácido Domingo, fund-raised thousands for their philanthropy projects and passionately shared inspiration to the world.

As one of my favorite poems by Mary Oliver, I’d love to hear from you:

WHAT IS IT YOU PLAN TO DO WITH YOUR one wild & precious LIFE?

Let's connect. Let’s discuss your questions, dreams, business or ideas.
