He was kind and very responsive even with all the other jobs that he's juggling - he's busy for a reason! We were aiming for a deadline and he beat it by 4 days allowing us time to fine tune and tweak little details way before the project was due. He was open to additional changes and tweaks throughout the process, asked good questions and even caught word errors - totally out of his scope but which saved us time in the end." — Karl S. • • • Working tightly with the publishing industry, media and entertainment industry, and in the educational and academic fields, I understand your target audience, your needs and your goals.
