ABOUT

During a 2012 interview the band Field Music claimed they “Still don't know where the one is” on their track, Who'll Pay The Bills?

That was enough to get me thinking. I wanted to create where the one is to feature art, design, people and places in order to be curious. To create content, and to discover what inspires creative people and makes them tick.

2017, and the site has undergone a bit of a facelift. That’s why you might notice some pieces are from a few years ago. Hopefully though, you’ll like the stories and will come back for more.

You might find the one thing you didn’t know you were looking for.

Me

DOSullivan_Pennleigh_Portrait

Debra Drew, Founder & Content Editor.

Following a TV and video production career in London I moved west, where I now live with my family. Over the past ten years I’ve worked as a gallery coordinator, and a freelance writer and editor, creating retail, travel, lifestyle and arts content for digital and print.

Clearly I love stories, I love ideas and I love talking creativity. For me, where the one is is a place to explore, and to share my passion and creative energy.
