Starting her career in Boston, she worked for some of the most reputable designers and firms. She handled such accounts as Raytheon, Harvard Art Museums, and worked on supporting many shows at WGBH/PBS Boston. Much of her time was focused on branding, along with designing books and publications, for museums. She also concentrated on creating signature annual reports for Corporate 100 accounts.

Since then, Deborah taught design at The Art Institute of Boston, Clark University, Rhode Island School of Design and Saint Michael's College. She has been teaching design, drawing and painting as a design professor at Champlain College in the CCM Division since 2009.

Her client groups are quite diverse, serving clients in: Education, Healthcare, Software, Retail, Publishing, Banking, Architecture, Engineering and many others.

A passionate native of Vermont, she returned and formed Kehoe + Kehoe Design Associates, Inc. in 1990 with her brother David. Since then, she created and led her team in developing award-winning graphic design solutions for strategic marketing and communications projects including branding, promotional literature, advertising materials, displays, packaging, websites and branded environments.

Recently, Deborah has changed the name of the business to Deborah Kehoe Design. She continues to work with her clients on building and extending their brands working across all mediums.

Deborah and her husband, David, live in a restored historic 230 year old farmhouse/general store in Charlotte, Vermont and their two adorable dogs, Maisy and Milo. In her free time, she follows her passion of teaching design and painting, cooking, gardening, knitting, and painting.
