White River Design helped me to develop an archetype branding strategy. Debbie is an expert at archetype branding and a lot of fun to work with. I was very happy with the outcome. I hope to work with her again and have no problem recommending her and the team at White River Design for branding work.

Finding a speaker who is engaging, entertaining, relatable and delivers content that truly helps our community of Dance Studio Owners to grow their business is not an easy task! Debbie delivered on every one of those (and more!) at our recent live event, and we would have no hesitation in recommending her as a speaker and/or consultant for all of your branding needs.

WRD have been instrumental in setting the path for significant growth in my business. Establishing a strong core message and a standout brand, from the very start, was important to me. This firm foundation made it easy for me, and my team, to promote our business with confidence. Our 'brand personality' is especially helpful in sending out the right message in all marketing formats. I am forever grateful for the personal service and the personal care I receive every time I deal with WRD. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to create a strong brand message!

We had been working on our branding and business direction for the better part of a year with no clear focus and needed professional advice. We got a quote from another company who were charging a large amount for not a whole lot of service. We asked our contacts and Debbie and the White River Design team came highly recommended from a colleague respected in our industry.
She was born for this role and is exceptional as a branding and strategic advisor. All of her advice was bang on and what we needed and I would say excellent value and we are excited by the outcome to say the least. We have since
