Aileen Judith De La Ree Valencia is a designer, maker, and artist whose practice is rooted in empathy, intentionality, pluralism, and a respect for humanity’s, and consequently, design’s, evolving and imperfect nature. She received a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 2020 and a Master of Fine Arts in Furniture Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2025.

Committed to expanding beyond the constraints of a singular narrative, she explores the nuances of her own culture to contribute to a landscape of diverse perspectives. Aileen approaches each design with a meticulous eye for detail, infusing every aspect of her work with a human touch and deep intentionality. Her practice is an ongoing exploration of how art and design can not only reflect but also shape a more inclusive, compassionate, and multifaceted world.
