Hullo, I'm Faith Murphy-Ginger. I run and self-fund Death to Normal using profits from my small business: The Horror of Misunderstanding, a communications and project laboratory that brings big ideas to life.
Keeping my business running means I can pay my small team of incredible women who live with disability and neurodivergence, and who help keep Death to Normal going.
If you know anyone who needs support for their enterprise (whether that's marketing, communications, strategy, operations or governance) or who wants to bring a BIG idea to life, I'd love to hear from you!
