"I use Mana's design for my wedding business and she's been my go-to for the past 12 years. I often have to make new PDFs, flyers, and other promotional materials to showcase to new couples. Having Mana's creative hand and eye has helped me to pull in new business with attractive and polished materials. I sometimes send her hand sketches of what I want and Mana sends it back nothing less than magic. The turnaround time for most of my projects is really fast. Highly recommended."

"Mana was one of my designers at AT Play Creative. Though Mana would pitch in on other projects for various clients, she was primarily focused on ABC Family (our largest client at the time). She was very reliable, was always on time, met all her deadlines. She is a very talented designer and photo retoucher. I would work with her again any day."
