"Hester's design work for my book cover showcased her thoughtful approach and exceptional talent. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of my vision, she crafted a visually captivating cover that exceeded all expectations. From concept to execution, Hester's creativity and dedication were evident, ensuring every element harmoniously aligned with the book's themes and tone. I cannot thank her enough, after several failed attempts at a design, I am absolutely in LOVE with my book cover!"

"I experienced working with Hester as a creative party. Indeed, there was plenty of room for my input without me being steered in a direction. Hester was able to translate my vague directions and associations into a concrete image that touched me and matched my tastes at lightning speed. Hester offered me the freedom to think along and in doing so was completely subservient to what made me happy. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend working with Hester; she is an expert, very talented, has fantastic taste, has a very good sense of what works, she works quickly and, in addition, she is just a very nice person to work with."
