Hey, I'm Debbie.
Passion for design
My path into design started back in the Blogspot days, where I spent hours tinkering with blog themes just to get things right. That early obsession with form and function has stuck with me - whether I’m deciding which app works for me best or hunting for a backpack that does all I need it to do, and a shoe for every purpose!
my style
I didn’t always work in design. In a previous career path, I was a high school teacher, subject department head, and competitive athlete — experiences that shape how I lead, collaborate, and communicate.
design compass
I am guided by the concept of "growth mindset" and bring that same energy and drive into my design work - through iteration, feedback, and continuous learning to improve current and future outcomes. I’m energized by leading features from discovery to delivery, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and creating impactful user-centered products.
when im not designing
You can find me hanging out with my partner and our dog, sipping a cuppaccino at a local café, or training at the gym — still chasing dreams of athletic glory.
