I wasn’t sure how it was going to come together, but Tania brought a highly detailed infographic to light beautifully. She’s also truly inspiring to listen to — warm, engaging, and encouraging.

Consulting with Tania was the best creative experience I’ve had in a long time. She guided the collaboration to reflect the heart of our business while keeping it practical and achievable.
Tania’s warm personality fit in immediately. She was more experienced than our staff artist but assumed a supportive role. Her skills and attitude made her a valuable contributor to the team.
