ABOUT


Hello, my name is Deborah Pullen, and I am a Graphic Designer from Kentucky. Creative projects have always been something I loved, pushing me to think outside the box for the interesting projects required for school from posters to book covers. In my free time, I find myself baking, reading, hiking, gaming, dabbling in photography, and sketching. 

I have learned a great deal about design concepts, theory, typography, and marketing strategies during my tenure at Eastern Kentucky University. I am prepared to become a manager and leader in the fields of digital publishing, print, and multimedia communications.
