Bek was an absolute delight to collaborate with! Professional, astonishingly fast with revisions, and very friendly. Bek was able to get the vision from my head onto the page, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I know exactly who to go to in the future for any of my map-making needs! 10/10

This is my second time working with Bek on a project, a map that will go into a novel. Bek is a pleasure to work with. The map is terrific. Communication during the project was easy and responses to comments were fast. She has my highest recommendation.
