BIO

Val Yoder

As a solo act from South Philly’s Passyunk Square, Val creates print and digital marketing materials for businesses from California to New England. Besides being fluent with the arsenal of Adobe CC software, she explores ideas creatively and spontaneously by hand. She can code WordPress sites, juggle projects,  and meet deadlines. 

Val is a mom of two students, and a lover of Finnish fabric, Pacific Northwest carvings, and Romanian embroidery. She travels to offbeat locales and observes how art reflects cultures, from the Tree of Life in Laos to the Blue Dogs of Louisiana.

What They Say

“Our go-to graphic designer”

“Val was our go-to graphic designer at Masel for years, producing great ads, brochures, product sheets, catalogs, website pages, etc. She really knows her stuff, technically and design-wise. Very pleasant to work with, she is accurate and careful, fast and frugal with our budget. I give her high scores for talent, work ethic and dependability. She worked regularly for us until we merged with a company in California. At my current position with Cetylite, I am thrilled to continue working with Val on our materials. She is an integral part of our marketing team.

“Reliable and trustworthy”

“During my busy season, I always depend on Val to take care of my overflow projects. I never have to worry about meeting deadlines or responding to clients, because I can rely on Val to handle entire projects efficiently and creatively on her own, without having to babysit her. She is independent and creative, and works diligently to meet all our crazy deadlines.”
