MEET OUR TEAM
Valentina Orrego, Co-founder and General Director
I am an active, curious and creative leader who is also crazy about order. My approach to the projects I develop always comes from an open attitude towards the people and topics I work with. I have great interest in art, design and fashion, as well in photography and learning from other cultures. I like having challenges and exchanging knowledge with others. I studied graphic design and fashion photography and worked for several years in different areas of design, fashion production and photography. Currently, I alternate the direction of The Shopping Map with teaching which is a profession I love. I am sociable although a little shy. I enjoy reading, taking care of plants, doing yoga, taking pictures or just walking and observing people in the streets.
