Hi, I’m Debbie – a Wellington (New Zealand) based designer working with organisations that are making a meaningful difference. I partner with non-profits to bring clarity to their communication and care to how their work is presented. Whether it’s a report, a funding proposal, or a piece of everyday collateral, I focus on making information easier to understand, more engaging to read, and thoughtfully designed to reflect the value of the work behind it. Because when something is clearly communicated and well presented, it doesn’t just look better – it’s more likely to be trusted, supported, and funded. Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked across agencies, in-house roles, and run my own print business – giving me a practical understanding of both design and production. Today, I work from my home studio, collaborating closely with clients and contributing where I can add the most value. I’m drawn to projects that feel purposeful, and I take a thoughtful, considered approach to every piece of work – listening carefully, asking the right questions, and aiming to make the process feel straightforward and collaborative. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me with family and friends – often outdoors, on or near the sea, with a small child and a puppy not far behind.
