Debbie is known worldwide as one of the top creative forces in healthcare marketing. She is the author of “Thrive” for Kaiser Permanente and is responsible for the direction of that brand’s turnaround campaign. She is as much a strategist as a creative mind, whose work with healthcare brands breaks through the competition in unexpected ways. Debbie’s work for Western Dental encouraged customers to “Chew On,” going beyond the competitive “smiley” sea of sameness into a place of lifelong oral health and fitness. Her creative direction on L.A. Care Health Plan and Santa Clara Valley Healthcare has garnered her awards for both results and creativity. Ad Age named Debbie one of the “100 Best and Brightest Women in Advertising” and Adweek voted her a “Creative Director All-Star.” Debbie’s television advertising work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York. She is a member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and judges the Emmy Awards. She received her education at Indiana University.
