Excellent design deserves exceptional PR
Debra LaPorte, works with architects, interior designers, and other industry related professionals, editors, writers, and photographers on a variety of public relations and marketing endeavors. Her experience includes residential, corporate, commercial and institutional projects. For small firms who may not have a dedicated PR and marketing department, Debra can strategize and structure a program that is results-oriented.
