Valicia Evans is a Los Angeles based creative professional with a career built across design, television, and live events. Her work reflects a steady rise shaped by consistency, adaptability, and long term trust.
She began by building a reputation as an interior designer and decorator. Her projects focused on homes that needed to look polished while still working for real life. Over time, she became known for blending style with function. This approach earned her opportunities with celebrity clients who valued privacy, reliability, and thoughtful design.
Her career expanded into television production through work as a production designer. Valicia contributed to multiple American sitcoms, including Family Time, Love That Girl, In the Cut, and Partners in Rhyme. These roles required creative vision paired with strict timelines and technical limits. She learned how to design spaces that support storytelling while meeting the demands of a working set.
Alongside television and interiors, Valicia built a parallel career in events. She worked as a caterer, wedding planner, and event coordinator. Her events ranged from private gatherings to celebrity functions. Success in this space came from attention to detail, planning under pressure, and understanding how people experience moments together.
Today, Valicia continues to evolve. She is co creating and producing a television cooking and lifestyle show called V’s Vittles and Vibes with her husband, Bentley Evans. The project brings together her strengths in hospitality, presentation, and production. Her career shows how steady growth, versatility, and strong partnerships can lead to lasting success.
When you think about success, how do you define it today?
Success has changed for me over time. Early on, it was about getting opportunities and proving I could do the work. Now it is more about sustainability. Can I build things that last. Can I move between projects without burning out. Success is also about trust. When clients come back or recommend me, that matters more than titles.
Your career spans interior design, television, and events. How did that shape your idea of success?
Working across different fields taught me that success is transferable. The skills that made me effective in home design helped me on television sets. Planning a wedding or catering an event uses the same thinking as designing a set. You plan ahead, expect problems, and stay calm. Seeing that connection helped me stop chasing one lane and focus on doing good work wherever I was.
What role did television production play in your professional growth?
Television taught me discipline. On a sitcom set, there is no room for indecision. You have timelines, budgets, and a crew depending on you. Working on shows like Family Time and In the Cut forced me to make clear choices and move forward. That experience made me stronger as a designer and more confident as a leader.
You have worked with celebrity clients in both homes and events. What did that teach you about success?
It taught me that success is often quiet. Celebrity clients value reliability and discretion. They want things done right without extra attention. That reinforced my belief that long term success comes from consistency, not flash. If people trust you in their private spaces, that trust is earned slowly.
How did event work influence your business mindset?
Events are high pressure and temporary. You plan for weeks or months, and then it all happens in a few hours. That taught me how to prioritize. You learn what truly matters and what does not. That mindset carried into my other work. I focus on what affects the experience most and let go of the rest.
What has working with your husband on V’s Vittles and Vibes added to your view of success?
It made success feel more personal. We have been married for many years, so building something together feels like an extension of our life, not just a project. The show brings together food, family, and production, which reflects who we are. Success here is about alignment. The work matches our values and our lifestyle.
What advice would you give someone building a creative career today?
Pay attention to patterns in your work. If you notice the same skills showing up in different jobs, lean into that. Do not rush to label yourself too narrowly. Also, measure success over years, not months. A steady career built on trust will outlast quick wins.
