Hi! / ¡Hola! / Oi! / Salut!

☽ I’m Valeria Ayala – creative optimist, born by the bay.

An eternal student at heart, my somewhat non-traditional path spans several creative fields: baking & pastry, filmmaking, graphic design, and most recently, getting my rear handed to me learning the Meisner acting technique and diving into scene work.

I've had the great fortune of working with some of the most innovative and inspiring entertainment companies as a video producer, writer, director, editor, and digital designer and spent over a decade producing digital content for various media networks, including MTV, Discovery Channel, Discovery Kids, Sony Entertainment Television, and Apple. 

In my spare time, you can catch me with an instant film camera in one hand, P. Terry's fries in the other (IYKYK), and updating my endlessly-long watchlist, all while hosting hours-long Zoom hangs for my favorite people with #MyCatManu on full display.
