I came to Matt with a high-level approach, and some comparable works I thought captured the mood of my story. He ran with the input and produced a compelling and highly professional design that looks as good as any novel on any bookshelf anywhere. I would recommend Matt and his work and plan to collaborate with him again on my next project!
