She was amazing! Even after the collaboration ended I reached out to her and she still helped me despite not receiving further payment. A true professional that takes pride in her work. It was a honor to work with her.

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.

I enjoyed working with Evgeniia very much. She was very professional and creative, as well as very flexible. She made several versions of my book cover until it looked just the way I wanted it. I can highly recommend her. My book was a mystery/thriller.

I'll try my best to be as fair as possible, while at the same time as honest as possible. I don't generally like giving people bad reviews. This is an exception, one that I feel is genuinely deserved. I posted the job as needing a custom book cover for my novel. I was publishing on KDP and Ingram Spark, so I needed an artist experienced with those platforms. Evgeniia accepted my offer, and ag...
