Asya is wonderful to work with. She got my concept right away for my cover art and we didn't have to do much tinkering. I get lots of compliments on my cover design! And the interior layout is great as well. Really a pleasure to work with.

This was a great experience for me as well and as a bonus I'm looking forward to reading the book. It's wonderful when the writer and the designer are on the same page and everyone is happy with the result.

Asya was a delight to work with. She listened to my ideas and offered creative and thoughtful suggestions throughout the process. She worked well with an artist with whom I wanted to collaborate on the project. Her communications were always timely and clear. I am thrilled with the results of our work together. I would gladly work with her again.
