Hello. I’m Debi, a marketing professional and communications strategist. I spent 20+ years building a career in corporate marketing and communications, grounded in my journalism degree and love for storytelling. As a graphic designer, creative director, and marketing director, I led branding and messaging initiatives for companies ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies — experience that now informs my ability to shape powerful, inclusive narratives that drive real-world change. I then pivoted into advocacy and political communications using those strategic-thinking and storytelling skills along with public speaking, media work, and policy engagement. I’ve written and edited national advocacy guides, created trainings for educators and healthcare providers, advised on public campaigns, and worked with nonprofits and international organizations to improve their communications strategies. Whether crafting messaging around complex political issues or training professionals on inclusive language, I bring a strategic, compassionate, and lived-experience-informed approach. I’m available for contract work worldwide, especially in areas related to: — Communications and/or marketing strategy — Creating corporate narratives, storytelling training, and social media strategy — Media relations and external communications — Crisis communications and reputation management — Legislative and policy messaging — Training and resource development for professionals Let’s connect if you’re looking to make your work more inclusive, more effective, and more human.
