Meet valentina juncaj | Creative Director & Founder

We had the good fortune of connecting with valentina juncaj and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi valentina, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind the success is two things – the relatability of the brand and its ability to empower women and being the drive to create this brand, regardless of having the resources and fearing what could happen. Drive and courage have a huge impact on all goals, and these are the seeds to any success.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I have been curating, making, and designing jewelry for over 10 years now, and there have been several challenges and learnings along the way! Nothing worth having is easy, but the effort is always worth it! I am most proud of being self taught and being able to problem solve to overcome those challenges. The biggest lessons I have learned along the way is that 1) you an have a structure and goals, but always be willing to pivot and flexible for things that come up that are not a part of your plan – the most successful people have to be agile. 2) always be willing to learn, grow and be resourceful – you will not always have 100% of everything you need so there will be a gap in what it takes to get there. 3) always have faith in yourself and push through. The VAJZE brand and woman aims to shine light on that – empowering and emphasizing that we are all multifaceted.
