Valeria Vera-Crespo is a Bolivian-American production designer based in Los Angeles, born and raised in Falls Church, Virginia. Her interest in storytelling and world building started at a young age. Valeria joined the life of theater at age eight, which is where her imagination was able to run wild with no boundaries. She later joined choir alongside theater, but soon found herself gravitating towards the work that went on behind the scenes of theater productions. From making aged busts of cast members to building time-period specific locations for the stage, her problem-solving and resoursefulness for set design and carpentry/fabrication jumped to the next level. 

Eventually moving West to explore and study her passions in art, music, and film, she graduated from the University of California with a Bachelor of Arts in public relations and minors in cinematic arts and music production. During her four years, she built a bilingual international campaign for LAFC x Apple TV and designed two thesis films, which both entered the film festival curcuit worldwide. Most recently, Valeria was selected to ColorCreative's Find Your People Program as a production designer in their 2024 cohort.

Valeria specializes in world-building highly stylized visuals for film and live music sets, showcasing a whimsical and heightened sense of reality, in hopes to create significant cultural impact and highlight the beauty and nature of our diverse and ever-changing world.
 
On top of that, she loves to sing, paint, garden, and learn new recipes in her spare time.
