What I've done


I've built and edited a print and digital media brand from scratch. I've shaped how organisations working on financial systems and social change tell their stories to funders, investors and the movements they're trying to build. I have a good instinct for the story that isn't being told: a background in trends research and startups trained me to spot gaps, and years of working closely with field practitioners has taught me to listen for the questions they most want answered. I started with an NCTJ journalism qualification, which means I still think like a reporter first.

I worked with Debbi on a year long start up project; she provided comprehensive content management and communications leadership and a senior voice which helped to significantly shape a young organization. She excels at problem solving, understanding and articulating user and commercial objectives, and focusing herself and others on key priorities. This is married with a very competent set of digital, graphics and copywriting skills.

An inspiring editor and a compelling wordsmith, both on paper and in person. She can glean the most fantastic insight from the most innocous source. Her attention to detail is extremely sharp. She’s a pleasure to work with and nurtures all those around her (above and below). A highly accomplished woman with a humble demeanour.

I have worked with Debbi on several projects over the past few years. She is creative, talented, a great problem solver, a fantastic writer and editor, a joy to work with and a very quick study. I would recommend her absolutely, and would work with her again in a heartbeat.
