About Victoria

Victoria is the founder of terptree, with a mission to change the world for deaf people by revamping the everyday deaf employee and deaf customer experience provided by the biggest UK and global brands.

She shares her unique insights into how services can best be provided to deaf people whilst being able to creatively look at cost-effective solutions that can have a huge impact on delivery.

“Both contemporary and thought-provoking in its construction, this is a tremendous aid for anyone who is serious about 21st century communication skills – a wonderful read.”

"I really enjoyed the case study approach. This really enables the reader to be in the shoes of a deaf person. The reference to the London bombings, for me, was particularly poignant. I also thought the example of being left on the platform following a platform alteration also highlighted the importance of awareness."

“Don’t Silence your Talent gives you a great insight into what it really takes to become Deaf Aware as an individual and as an organisation. The case studies really put this into perspective making you think about how you can make adaptions and changes to the way you communicate”
