Debbie King

I specialise exhibitions, events, brand systems and placemaking - design for spaces, experiences and real-world audiences.
 

I work flexibly across roles: sometimes leading creative direction and design teams, other times supporting studios and in-house teams as a senior designer, bringing clarity, craft and momentum where it’s needed most.
 

With 20+ years’ experience, I’m comfortable shaping concepts, developing visual systems, and seeing work through to delivery - but I’m just as happy getting stuck into the detail. I collaborate closely with curators, architects, producers, marketers and developers, and I understand the practical realities of budgets, timelines and build constraints.

​

I’m often brought in for:
• Art direction and design leadership
• Persona and user journey development
• Exhibition graphics and interpretation
• Event identities and live experience design
• Brand identity and visual systems
• Placemaking, wayfinding and environmental graphics
• Senior-level design support and artworking

​

Calm, collaborative and solutions-focused. I aim to make projects better - creatively and practically - whatever the role.
