Meet The People Behind Beads etc...

Deborah Segaert

With a combined background of craft, printing and publishing, it was a natural progression for Deborah to move into the role of running her own publishing business in the late 90s.

Since then Creative Living Media has grown at an impressive pace, producing high-quality magazines and books and complementary events and workshops for crafters.

Deborah has four children and divides her time between business and family activities and, when time allows, quiltmaking.
