Bio
Jean Blundon
A Fearless leader. Deborah will boldly go where no creative director has been before. With her quick wit, talent, and global experience, she enjoys brainstorming, exploring endless possibilities, and always comes up with a unique solution for each client project. As a manager, she leads by example, motivates and teaches you to speak up, create a rationale for your work, and present it in a compelling way. She is direct, dynamic, and super fun to work with. I hope to have the chance to work with her again.
