Meet Our Talented Team

We sometimes get emails asking about our team. It’s both exciting and flattering. Without these people, we couldn’t crank out the superb quality content that our followers adore. We are real people writing about topics we love. What makes this crazy thing work is the mix of personalities and unique points of view of each contributor to DIY Home & Garden. So thank you for taking time to meet our team!

EDITOR & PUBLISHER:

Deborah Tayloe is the publisher, editor, content creator, webmaster, graphic designer, and jack of all trades for DIY Home & Garden! She works a full-time as freelance editor, content creator, and children’s book author. Freelancing pays the bills, but she honestly prefers working on her pet project: DIY Home & Garden.

She’s a true DIY nerd and is happiest when enthusiastically wielding her paintbrush against a piece of outdated furniture or digging in her garden.
