What Clients Are Saying

“I have worked with Laura for over 12 years, both as an illustrator being art directed by her, and also as an art director hiring her to do illustrations for the publication I art direct. She brings this breadth of experience into any project — she is easy to work with, comes with great concepts, and understands the assignment from both ends. Plus, her style is so distinct and engaging, and has a sense of humor I don’t find from every illustrator. 10/10 recommendation!”

– Katie McBride, Director of Design Services, University of Richmond Communications
"Laura’s a joy to work with. She totally understood the vision for my book covers, and she’s delivered beautiful results every time."

– Maggie Grant, author
"Working with Laura was wonderful! She took the time to understand our vision, was patient with edits, and worked on an incredibly tight deadline to ensure we had the project completed in time. Her illustration turned out so lovely — capturing both our ideas and her own style and creativity. We can't wait to work with her on another project!"

– Ash Hobson, Communications Manager at Shalom Farms
