TESTIMONIALS

You did such an amazing job on this project, thanks for bearing with us through all the approvals and revisions!
— Casey Moses, Penguin Random House
It was a real pleasure to work with Lisa. Her creative flair, resolute attention to detail and ability to navigate the tricky path between historical authenticity and a ‘21stC fun-packed family day out’ was second to none.
— David Sudlow, English Heritage Project
Lisa provided an excellent illustration on the subject of fast food for Delicious magazine. She took the initial brief and developed her own take on the subject, and gave the feature a quirky and arresting look. Very happy to take direction, and works very quickly - I can’t wait to commission her again!
— Mark Taylor, Delicious Magazine Project
