Debbie Hastings, CO-Owner, founder

My Background:

Printing, Publishing, and Website Design: Although I established Flying Change Webs & Graphics when I returned to Maine in 2007, I have been involved in website design, visual graphics, printing, and publishing for over 20 years.

Photography & Typesetting: Shortly after graduating from New England School of Photography in Boston, MA, I realized that photojournalism was not a career for woman raising a family. Instead, I took a job as a traditional typesetter. Back in those “dinosaur ages of computers”, typesetting was performed much like website HTML coding is done today—they are amazingly similar.

Printing, Graphic Design & Publishing: As electronic publishing made its debut, I began creating corporate instruction manuals, then made the move to graphic design and printing. I managed print production for advertising agencies, tradeshows, and have been involved with just about every aspect of the publishing world.

International & Non-Profit Web Design: In 2000, while living in London, England, I began building websites for international non-profit organizations. Settling back in Maine has now offered me the opportunity to offer website design services to other small businesses as well. I have always had an eye for detail, a passion for creativity, and the desire to help others.

My Home: A native of Maine

I pride myself as a native Maine-iac (born right here in Portland, Maine) and have finally come back home to Maine with my husband Bill and our two children, Emily and Matt.

My Background:

Business Management and Creative Design: I started working with Debbie and Flying Change Webs & Graphics in 2010, and we decided to form a partnership in 2011 in order to expand our services to clients. 

I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a degree in Business Management. After managing restaurants for 9 years, I found it to be incompatible with motherhood.  So I stayed at home and let the creative juices flow into all kinds of projects from sewing and scrapbooking, to home remodeling and web design. 

Personal Web Design: I began designing websites for fun. I found that everyone needs an internet presence: whether you're planning an event, selling your goods, or simply sharing your interests, it's important for people to have constant access to consistent information.

I'm a native of the west, born in Montana, and schooled in Arizona. I moved to Maine in 2007 with my husband Andy, and our kids Alex and Amanda.  We love living near the ocean and the Red Sox.
