Tania’s warm personality fit in with our team immediately. She was more experienced than our staff artist but assumed a supportive role, and they worked together very effectively. He learned a lot from her unobtrusive mentoring and she was very flexible about blending her style and approach with his and our organization's preferences. The resulting artwork was excellent! We would welcome and be delighted to work with Tania again.
One example that illustrated Tania’s professionalism to me was the final push to complete our marketing pieces. We had an aggressive deadline and the artists had a list of pieces to create. After developing the first piece together to work out the basic design, Tania suggested they divide up the other pieces. Tania not only completed hers but she also consulted on the other pieces to ensure we made the deadline. Further, throughout the long hours, she kept a cheerful outlook which reduced the stress for everyone. Tania’s skills and attitude make her a valuable contributor to any team.

Alicia Hammon
The Laughing Place Bakery
Gladstone, Missouri, USA
I had the opportunity to work first-hand with Tania for two weeks. Consulting with her for our specific project was the best creative experience I've had in quite some time. Tania was courteous, exceptionally educated in her field and knew just how to lead the conversation to come up with a plan for a creative collaboration that not only suited my business's needs but would reflect the heart and soul of what we wish to offer in The Laughing Place Bakery.
I also had an opportunity to both observe and experience another side of Tania's strengths. I watched her have many conversations with entrepreneurs over the two weeks, where she was both encouraging and uplifting as she helped them see new ways to build and grow their businesses.
Not only is she an incredibly accomplished, generous, and kind communicator, but she also has a God-given gift for seeing the strengths and weaknesses in an entrepreneur's business; pulling out strengths and gently suggesting corrections for the weaknesses. I would be the first in line for both an opportunity to have one-on-one coaching from Tania, as well as purchasing tickets for a business event where she was speaking.
