Stakeholder Feedback

“Faith did an excellent job creating a visual book cover for our project. She drafted several options, and received feedback, likely confusing at times from me, about what we were looking for, and was able to adapt her designs to better meet our vision for the book. I’d absolutely use her skills again in the future.”
