We had the good fortune of connecting with Valentina Kawaii Universe and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Valentina, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
If you can’t imagine or visualize yourself starting or doing something a 100 times over don’t bother doing it in the first place. – David R.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Kawaii Universe is beyond the cute! It’s design that’s infinitely curious, equally as inventive. Each and every one of my artworks, Kawaii Universe, is made manifest with an artisan approach, care, craft. A lesson would be to ignore the “short road”, it’s always the hardest. So pick and stick to the long road, it will be the most fulfilling and more enjoyable then you could ever even imagine. It just started with a dream, which then turned into more dreams! Dreams that wish to stay connected, together. Then it was about keeping to the dreams and not letting them fade away during the course of an “every day”; ever expanding dreams into more dreams creating the cutest reality!
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

My Shout Out Book dedication is ….. “Graphics Artists Guild – Ethics Handbook” I started my art career with this book! It is essential. It was my North Star early on. It’s the go-to. It revolves around business matters and ethics. You have a right to present yourself /your work professionally and maintain contracts and the highest ethics. You are not ALONE, there is a Guild.
