MULTI-MEDIA CONTENT SPECIALIST
Deborah has 20+ years experience leading teams across print, product and digital in the interior design and fashion space.
The founding editor-in-chief of award-winning interior magazine and lifestyle brand real living. Deborah conceived, launched and hosted the School of real living, the event component of the real living brand. Deborah held the role as editor-in-chief on real living for eleven years.

“Attention spans have shortened and a large percentage of so called 'content' hasn't been emotionally engaging, trusted, nor is it real, especially on social media. A perception of cash for comment has eroded audience trust, as well as impacted advertising effectiveness. Everyone has jumped on the 'content' band wagon to the point where the word 'content' itself is overused and tired. We are overwhelmed and drowning in poor content. Our time is being wasted and we just don't have the time to waste.”
Storytelling is a difficult art, but what’s even more difficult is doing it while also delivering on business outcomes. Having been in the business of creating stories for audiences for over 20 years there’s a hell of a lot I know about creating a beautiful, engaging story.”

Client Testimonials
Deb is a creative genuis and an absolute pleasure to work with. Collaborative, hard working, results focussed and an eye for detail. Her ideas are always original and she is a forward thinker. It’s such a privilege to working with Deb on our brand development.
Craig Andrade, The Raconteur
"I have known Deb professionally for years and when I began working on The Together Project I contacted Deb straight away. I was not disappointed and she quickly showed why she is so respected in the industry. Creating a social enterprise from scratch I wanted to step away from the cliches we have all known and bring an updated version of what that could be. She brilliantly put together a content strategy for online and social. It really has set the pace for where we are wanting to go and Deb’s energy is contagious. She brings you on the journey and makes the whole working experience so enjoyable. I couldn’t have got this far without her."
Amanda Talbot Founder, The Together Project
