What people have said about working with me

Alissa brought our campaign to life with her stunning illustrative style. She helped us communicate complex health challenges and policy ambitions through powerful visuals. She delivered exceptional work on our campaign, showcasing her talent for visually enchanting branding and emotionally resonant animations.

Alissa's ability to translate complex messages into digestible, beautiful designs is unrivalled. At Jenipher's Coffi, she helped us to create a brand from scratch that has received admiration from across our community, from the farmers who produce the coffee to those that drink it, and the many who support our social enterprise, from politicians to students. No mean feat!

Alissa is a very talented illustrator and has a knack for compelling storytelling. It was a pleasure working with her.

I've worked with Alissa on a number of projects she's illustrated and animated. Her work is always beautiful, imaginative, and bursting with personality. I've even hired her for some personal projects of my own.

Without a doubt Alissa has one of the most intuitive design minds we’ve encountered — and is collaborative with it, always seeking input and bringing a playful, calm and thoughtful presence to our projects.
