Helping Good People Do Great Work
I’m Deborah Trumble, freelance design and communications consultant and the founder of Sage Leaf Solutions.
With over 20 years of design, marketing communications, and organizational leadership experience, I help businesses and nonprofits with hands-on creative work and behind-the-scenes fundraising and development support.
Whether you need a WordPress website, a polished annual report, a brand refresh, or a clean donor database, I’m the one person who can take it from start to finish and get it done right.
What I Bring To Every Project
Experience + Adaptability
With 20+ years of professional design and communications experience, I can jump into any project at any stage and work across print, web, and social. I'm proficient in WordPress, Adobe Creative Suite, and Little Green Light CRM, among many other applications.
Big Picture Viewpoint
As a nonprofit founder and executive director for 17 years, and owner of a retail business for six, I understand how essential consistent, on-brand communications and practical systems are to freeing up your time and keeping your organization on track.
Design + Production Chops
As an early career typesetter and production artist, I learned to see details that others miss. I understand color theory, what fonts work together, and when to use an en (–) or an em (—) dash. Your projects go out press-ready and pixel-perfect.
Practical, Flexible Support
You give me everything you have on your project, and I’ll give you a quote, a timeline with milestones, and clear deliverables. I'll keep you updated at every step, and you'll get a finished product that's accurate and ready to use.
More about me
My mission is to help good people do great work, and to make our time working together as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
I draw inspiration from nature, music, and the people I've gotten to work with over the years. When I’m not at my desk, you might find me hiking the Connecticut trails, stalking the mighty chanterelle, or playing flute with friends in one of many community ensembles.
Charlie, one of my many rescued soulmates.
