During her two-year residency at the National Film Board of Canada’s Interactive Studio, Vali created the groundbreaking youth serious game I Love Potatoes, which earned multiple international accolades, including the NUMIX Grand Prize in Canada.

Since then, she has continued to push boundaries with acclaimed interactive projects, including SuperSymmetry, an interactive knitting platform; My Camera and Me, a virtual filming experience with iconic cameras that shaped cinema history; Tout Garni, a year-long interactive saga by twelve talented illustrators; Montreal's version of the acclaimed A Mile in My Shoes exhibit for the MEM ; and The Awakening of the Sleeping Machines, an AR quest for the Musée Électropolis in Mulhouse. Vali has just launched Traces: The Grief Processor, a multi-user VR project that had its world premiere at SXSW as part of its selected competitive lineup, and nominated as Best in XR at Games For Change 2025.
