About

I build things that work.

I'm Andrew Valish—a designer and developer with over a decade of experience building brands, websites, software, and marketing materials for startups and local businesses.

After leading design and development at comma.ai (where we built the #1 rated driver assistance system according to Consumer Reports) and CoverHound, I started Valish Studios to bring that same level of quality to businesses that don't usually have access to it.

I do everything—logos, websites, business cards, yard signs, billboards, mobile apps, AI tools. One person handling it all means your brand stays consistent and you don't have to manage five different vendors.

Based in Stroudsburg, PA. Working with clients locally and everywhere.
