I am a first time, self published author and I can wholeheartedly tell you Tatiana was wonderful to work with. Tatiana’s knowledge and expertise helped me tremendously from start to finish. Her communication, vision, artistic ability and creativity are unparalleled and truly made this process so much fun. I look forward to collaborating on new adventures together in the future.

It would be most efficient if the client already has a clear vision for what they want, as this will prevent changing directions in the middle of production.
