“Liz is one of the most talented and capable graphic artists I have worked with. Whether it be UI design and creation, entertainment industry presentations or straight up graphic design, Liz brings a fantastic design sensibility, professionalism and eye for the aesthetically pleasing to her work. Liz exhibits a passion for her craft, attending shows, mixing with other creatives and keeping abreast of the industry, which, coupled with her vast experience, means she brings great knowledge and understanding to any job she is tasked with. Her numerous contacts and great work ethic results in any and all ideas being realised to a high level. Whether asked to be an addition to an existing design team, to lead a design team or to execute a job remotely, Liz would fulfil the role with honours. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
