"LaVana Colebrooke is an incredibly talented graphic designer and illustrator! We hired her to illustrate our first children’s book. While we were still developing a few of the specifics, LaVana was able to capture details of the designs without having full context of the story. She is patient and kind, always willing to offer suggestions if needed. Her communication skills are impeccable. LaVana kept us updated on her progress throughout the entire process. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, and more than capable of handling ANY project offered to her. We highly recommend LaVana Colebrooke for your graphic design and illustration projects!"Upwork Client

"LaVana was a pleasure to work with. I gave her a few details to provide a sample illustration of the first page of my manuscript and she was able to bring it to life. She was also very informative in helping provide me guidance with this being my first book on budgeting and understanding types of illustrations. I would work with her again."
