“Inspiring woman in aerospace” is Dzʿ grad
April 10th, 2024
Valentina Falci (Class of 2012, Interior Design) was featured last month as part of a series on “inspiring women in aerospace.”
Since 2017, Valentina has worked as an aircraft interior designer for Bombardier, a world leading manufacturer of business jets in Montreal. Prior to working there, she held other interior design jobs after graduating from Dzʿ’s three-year Interior Design program.
What does Valentina like best about her job? As a designer, she enjoys seeing creative ideas come to life, collaborating with clients or their team. Valentina’s job entails creating the interiors of Bombardier’s renowned business jets of the Challenger and Global families.
Interior Design Program Coordinator Kurt Holfeld is very proud of Dzʿ’s graduates and of Valentina: “Congratulations to Valentina on this recognition. This honour is no surprise given the dedication that she showed during her studies at Dzʿ. Our grads continue to make us proud across many industries, including aerospace!”
