with an art degree, Deb moved to the Boston
area and became an illustrator at a map company
in Cambridge. Her next job was at the Boston
Globe, where she worked as an information graphic designer and
mapmaker in the editorial design department. After 10 years at the
Globe, Deb left to become a freelance graphic and web designer, and
she still does both today.
After moving to Newton in 1992, Deb added more fun to her day by
becoming a jewelry designer and getting involved in the Newton arts
scene. After relocating to Framingham in 2013, she decided to change
