Colleagues describe her as "Debré’s ability to effortlessly lead, guide, and co-create in the design and product realms at Healthforce is a testament to her skill and to the manner in which she leads and shares her vast expertise. She is committed to deeply understanding her users, products, and the systems in which they function, and her love for learning and research is well balanced with her ability to be pragmatic. Her team was always a safe space and I was richer for it both personally and as a budding product manager.

This also meant gently correcting us as we inevitably got it wrong along the way! The end result was an organisation that tested and re-tested functionality before it landed on the product, with a culture of failing fast and learning from our mistakes. Debre was also impactful to me on my personal career. She coached and mentored me as I embarked on my service design journey, often taking extra time to help co-facilitate workshops, review my work and give me valuable feedback. The end result was that I was ultimately able to figure out what service design meant in the Healthforce and healthcare context, resulting in a product development lifecyle that truly took into account the full user service experience we needed to deliver before taking new functionality live.
