“Melissa is an amazing Illustrator! Not only are her images full of life, colour and beauty, but her professionalism in meeting deadlines, keeping you up to date with where she is at in your book and great advice to make your book better over exceeds what you thought you were getting. She really knows how to capture what’s inside your heart and draw it on paper. It’s amazing what she can do with an authors vision. The story is truly told through her art work. I would definitely give her 5 stars and recommend her for your projects.”

"I have worked with Missie on a few projects, my favourite being the book; Bonniema and Fredpa’s BIG Family.  From the moment Missie took on the project it was absolutely perfect.  Not only did she get the illustrations perfect but she gave a personality to the book that was exactly what it needed.  Soft, kind and caring showing through on every page.  When I suggested an idea, she ran with it and brought it to life.  I immensely enjoyed working with her and her creative mind.  The timeline for creating the book was always on point if not earlier than expected.  I loved opening emails to see how things were progressing.  Communication was easy and professional but friendly and casual, a dream to work with. 
I have recommended Missie many times and will continue to do so…she is amazing! If you are looking for the perfect illustrator for your project look no further!"
