TESTIMONIALS
“Nell is one of the best designers I have worked with during my more than twenty years in publishing. She is flexible, imaginative, punctual and just as good with a precise and formal brief as she is with being given the freedom to experiment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
Scott Pack, Publisher
“Nell is great. She is engaged and interested in the whole book. She feels like an integral part of the team in the design process. She sees and contributes more than just cover design. She loves books and wants them to communicate the right message to the audience. She is reliable, clear, collaborative and delivers. Lots of people tell us our covers are great and Nell is a big part of the reason why.”
Dan Hiscocks, Publisher
“Nell is everything you’d want in a cover designer. Creative, professional, and easy to work with. At the start of the project, Nell took the time to understand my books, my brand, and my objectives and she delivered two fabulous covers on time and on budget. Her communication skills are excellent, and I felt involved and informed throughout.”
Emma Young, Author
“We absolutely loved working with Nell on our two-book novel, Undying. As well as being incredibly talented at what she does, she really listened to and collaborated with us, really going the extra mile to understand what we needed. We are thrilled with the designs she came up with: they are genuinely different from typical covers, and make the book into an amazing object as well as perfectly capturing and conveying the spirit of what’s inside.”
Ambreen & Uzma Hameed, Authors
