Out Of Office was born from a lifelong love affair with the Texas coast.

As a seventh-generation Texan, Deborah grew up counting down the days until summer in Port Aransas which entailed jumping waves, making friendship bracelets, eating snow cones, and embracing the kind of freedom that only seems to exist by the ocean.

After earning an Economics degree from The University of Texas, she built a career in finance and startups across Houston, Austin, Silicon Valley, and New York City. But no matter where life took her, the dream of building something of her own and the pull of the coast never went away.

Eventually, the answer became clear, life is too short to wait for the perfect moment, and it’s never a bad idea to bet on yourself.

Out Of Office was created from that idea, a love letter to the coast, to adventure, and to making more room for the things that make life worth living.

Because life is short. The emails can wait.

It’s time to be Out Of Office. 🌊☀️🤍
