Dr Deb J Hill

I am a graphic designer and researcher working out of the Whanganui Learning Centre’s Creative Hub. I design graphic resources that are easy-to-read and easy-to-understand for an everyday audience. This work has come from my 25+ years as a Political Philosopher of Education. Cartoons and graphics are easier to understand than pages and pages of text. Whether it’s creating a guide for secondary or tertiary students to understand what counts as “plagiarism” or a little booklet introducing “deep thinking”, that’s what I am creating. These are available on the Ako Aotearoa website as a free download by the way.
