Hi, I'm Jessica Valis. 👋
Hi, I'm Jessica Valis.
I’m a boy mom & cop wife. I frequently convince myself I’m the mid-century modern version of Joanna Gains and try my hand at home repairs… and I never put the tools away because… you know, I could need them again. Otherwise, I’m in the garden and tending my veggies.
Before Harford Designs, I worked in branding and publishing for Wells Fargo Securities. Now, I’m applying my big business know-how to independent financial firms like yours!
I’ve dabbled with HTML and website design since 1996 (hello, flame gifs and Angelfire!) and am ready to bring your brand and website from the dark ages (the 2000s!) to 2023!
