About Valerie
My passion for fashion started when I was in high school. Instead of doing my homework and studying, I would teach myself how to create patterns from paper and sew outfits for school the next day. A graduate of the public school system, I knew that I had a passion for something that would eventually give back to the community that supported me as a child.
Now with over 3 decades of experience in the fashion, retail and merchandising industry, I am honored to share my skills and what I have learned through my life and professional experiences with the next generation. My PINC internship program, along with being a board member for Community Helping Schools has become my focus when it comes to giving back.
It has been my honor to be recognized as one of Honolulu’s Most Fashionable Women and the Valerie Joseph Boutique voted the Best Boutique of Honolulu. I spend my free time speaking at special engagements as a keynote and motivational speaker. Furthermore, I have designed a beauty skincare line of all-natural Hawaii coffee body scrubs. For me, the journey of trying new things, exploring the world and helping others has only just begun.
