Building websites since 1999

Valerie's first website, Broadway Musical Home, continues to flourish today. Since then, she has worked for a publishing house, as an in-house designer/developer, for an association, and at advertising agency. In 2012 she co-founded a web design and marketing company and shares her web expertise with clients across industries today.

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 with Award-winning companies and Broadway and Hollywood stars! And her performance background makes her an expert presenter and speaker.

Avid non-profit supporter

From the start, her company Chisel and Brand LLC has dedicated itself to helping startups and non-profits leverage the same powerful marketing and web tools available to large firms. In her capacity as Board President and as part of development teams, she has assisted with fundraising, donor recognition and cultivation events for multiple non-profits.

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 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.
Dave Dave Keller Manager at IHC Health Solutions
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.
