Debi once went an entire week without TV, and believes this inspired her overall philosophy of communication: "Less is more." She began working as a graphic designer in the 1980s, armed with a visual communications degree from the University of Arizona, then moved into advertising. Then back to design. Then advertising, and so on, exploring how each field enhances the other. Now she combines both for The Lavidge Company, focusing on inspired creative that reflects brand-centered marketing. Debi puts that same flair to work when she shops for antique typewriters. Her collection reflects her passion for great design.
