I approached the artist not knowing exactly what I wanted for my project, and she guided me through my options. She was more than happy to make changes if I wanted to see the impact they would have on the finished project, and always responded swiftly to my messages. I would recommend her to anyone interested in having their book cover designed by a professional.
