Building websites since 1999

Valerie built her first website, Broadway Musical Home, in 1999 and it continues to flourish today. She's held digital leadership roles across associations, agencies, and private companies, before co-founding Chisel and Brand in 2012, which became her full-time focus in 2021. She shares her web expertise with clients across industries, from small businesses to national nonprofits.

Seen on stage around the country

Valerie is a professional actor and singer, who has performed with theatre companies across the country, from Maine to California. She has toured nationally and performed alongside Broadway and Hollywood stars. Her performance background makes her an experienced presenter and speaker off-stage, in conference rooms and boardrooms alike.

Avid non-profit supporter

From the start, Chisel and Brand LLC has been dedicated to helping small businesses and non-profits access the same marketing and web tools available to large firms. Valerie has served as Board President for two theatre companies, Brave Spirits Theatre and Theatre Pro Rata, and currently serves on the board of BRAVA (Bowie Regional Arts Vision Association) and leads grantwriting for Keegan Theatre.

Valerie was always a consummate professional, goal oriented, always open to exploring new ideas, driven and a delightful colleague to work with. I highly recommend her for her expertise in UI/UX and project monitoring and management and believe she would be an excellent asset to any team.
Bob Robert A. Blau Co-Worker at National Association of Broadcasters
Valerie is fabulously talented. Her range as an actor makes it easy to accidentally overlook her amazing skill as a singer. Also a complete professional and a pleasure to have in the rehearsal room at all times.
Leah Leah Cooper Freelance Theatre Director
Valerie has a rock solid approach and is one of the most engaged interactive professionals I have had the pleasure of working with. Valerie is extremely intelligent, sharply focused on outcome and demonstrates exceptional integrity and care for our clients' success. Brilliance: is her benchmark!
James James Kolstad Manager at Scales Advertising
Valerie is a skilled web designer who combines creativity with the ability to meet deadlines. She is quick to pick up on the needs of her business sponsor and to create solutions tailored to those needs.
