I heard them say...

Girl Effect

"Working with Careshia was a pleasure from beginning to end. She fully understood our brief and what we were looking for and brought even more than we asked for to the table. We worked fluidly and quickly as we developed the initial direction and refined it as we went on. The whole process was a joy, and our whole team is in love with the work. Would definitely call on Careshia for future work in a heartbeat."

"Careshia is a brilliant illustrator and creative. It is always fun to work with her on various projects. She can work in various styles across different brands and always gets it! Her collaborative approach is refreshing, she always delivers exceptional work while managing deadlines and time pressures."

"I had the privilege of collaborating with Careshia, an exceptional illustrator, for a recent campaign, and I am extremely pleased with the remarkable outcome. Careshia's creative work was truly outstanding, particularly her exceptional use of color.

Despite working remotely, she maintained excellent communication and responded promptly. Careshia demonstrated a deep understanding of the brief and delivered the final product on time. Working with her was a seamless and enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend her services."
