Rachel did a great job on my state themed cards. She delivered the project in record time and gave me a the time I needed to make changes. I wasn’t sure of what I wanted and she guided me through some options to make sure I got what I was hoping for. So patient. I couldn’t have asked for a better illustrator to partner with.
