DEBBIE HASTINGS
Owner, Website Designer/Developer, and Creative Code Junky
Debbie is a graduate of New England School of Photography with over 20 years of experience in pre-press production management and graphic design. She developed her first website in 2000 and has built upon that self-taught skill ever since. Therefore, it’s the perfect match of creativity and technology.
In 2007, Debbie founded Flying Change Webs & Graphics, which provided affordable web design to small local businesses. Seven years later with hundreds of websites under her belt, the company was rebranded to form a new company: DesignMe Creative Group.
Debbie pride’s herself on being a native Maine-iac (born right here in Portland) and was happy to return “home” with her husband Bill and their two children in 2006 after living abroad for 5 years. She loves music, tie-dye, traveling to new places, and being involved in her children’s activities – volleyball and 3-day eventing.
BILL HASTINGS
Director of Billing and Finance
Debbie’s husband, Bill, is the go-to numbers guy. He makes sure all our proverbial “t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted”. If you’ve had any work done with DesignMe Creative Group, you’ve seen his email cross your desk. Bill sends monthly invoices, tracks our income and expenses, and makes sure everyone gets paid.
Bill graduated with a business degree from Purdue University and an MBA from Indiana University. Although he is a CPA (he took the test on a dare in Grad School and passed), his real career and passion is New Ventures in Energy Development. He worked 28 years for a major energy company in Houston, which took him all over the world. In 2007, he “retired” and now runs his own Energy Investment business – Nova Atlantic – from his office along side DesignMe.
NALA
Chief Dog Officer and Security Alarm
When you arrive at the office of DesignMe Creative Group you will most likely be greeted by a very happy, very energetic, and very friendly Jack Russell Terrier named Nala. Nala, also known as the Chief Dog Officer, is responsible for keeping the yard clear of elephants and alligators. She does a very good job, as we haven’t seen a single elephant or alligator since we started. Nala also keeps the office on high alert when a vehicle pulls in for a meeting. She is the household pet and loves any and all attention visitors are willing to give.
