Clients
"I had the pleasure of working with Ali on a recent complex illustration project with Elvie. We challenged her to take a number specific and complex areas of the female anatomy, ensure they been illustrated scientifically correctly and also feel 'Elvie'. Ali was up for the challenge. She was super collaborative from her early drawings she created to scope out exactly our requirements to the final deliverables. She hit the brief first time and delivered on time.
I would have no hesitation in working with Ali again."
- Elvie
"She fit into the team with ease, demonstrating fantastic creativity and enthusiasm through the group ideation process before completing the final animations on time and perfectly to the brief. She maintained excellent communication throughout the project and the assets she produced are highly regarded by customers and colleagues alike.
Ali is a pleasure to work with and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again in future."
