I've known Debbie for many years and had the pleasure of working with her for a few as well. I can say with authority that Debbie is one of the most talented designers I've ever known.

Debbie is a passionate creative, who always went above and beyond to deliver great work. She strove to understand the client's need, the audience she was speaking to and the strategies required to deliver the goods.
