"Denise was an absolute pleasure to work with. She understood exactly what was required and was so helpful in guiding me with some of my questions. I love the way she brought my story to life, her illustrations are gorgeous and I could not recommend her highly enough! Thank you Denise. The experience of writing and illustrating my first book was amazing !"

Rebecca Hutchinson- Author of Sandy and The Shark Ring 

"Denise was an absolute dream to work alongside as I worked on my first ever children's book. She executed every idea I had had with such timeliness and precision. I could not be more thrilled with her as a human and for bringing my vision to life!"

Elizabeth Irving- Author of The Tear-away, Scare-away Nightmare Journal

"Denise was meticulous when it came to making sure my vision came to life. We had a meeting prior to our collaboration so I could explain what I wanted the illustrations to look like, and she was even able to use photos I provided for the correct likeness. Her communication was prompt and professional, and I found her an absolute delight to work with."
​
Rebecca Jay - Author of A home for Little Biscuits

Denise was fantastic to work with. Denise explained the process to me thoroughly, was extremely professional in turnaround times and responsiveness, and created gorgeous illustrations my family and I are extremely happy with for a children's book we made for our mom. So happy with her work and would absolutely recommend her.
