Building websites since 1999

Valerie built her first website, Broadway Musical Home, in 1999 and it and it's sister site 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 off-stage and in conference and board rooms.

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 grantwriting, 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.
