Elbie is a really constructive and helpful illustrator. She is particularly adept at illustrations requiring the depiction of perspective. I made repeated requests for changes and some of these were complex. But rather than objecting in any way to these changes, she did her best to accommodate them. People interested in her work can also view examples on her linkedin profile.

Elbie is a true professional. She had great ideas for the various maps we needed for the book and worked tirelessly to get them perfect. She has a great sense for aesthetics and high attention to detail. The mapwork could not be better. Thanks Elbie.

Elbie worked closely with me through numerous iterations to deliver a customized map/graphic that I expect will enhance the readers' experience. I appreciate her patience, speed of response, precision and ultimately her professionalism. I would certainly recommend her to others and hope to collaborate with her again in the future.
