Hi there, Let me introduce myself: I’m Debbie – a Wellington (New Zealand) based designer working with organisations that are making a meaningful difference. I partner with organisations to bring clarity to their communications, and 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. I have been working with CHS Alliance, CCHN, Sphere, Lutheran World Federation in Switzerland and with charities here in New Zealand WWF-New Zealand, Forest & Bird, Variety the Children's charity, and Internet NZ). 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. In my application you will see my CV, a recent reference from a client (based in Geneva, Switzerland), plus further details on my professional and technical skills.

Thank you for your time.
