Scott Pansky
Briana is spectacular. Her attention to detail, organization, patience, and quick response have made choosing an illustrator a clear process. She was amazing at guiding me through all the options and what was best according to what our organization is looking for and the constraints of our budget. I hope we are fortunate enough to work with her again in the future.
Melvina Norried-Thomas, American Association of Colleges and Universities
I appreciate how accommodating and easy it was to work with IllustrationX. They helped me to find an artist that fit my budget and style of project. Moreover, I was happy for a means of finding an artist that is trustworthy and risk-free, after spending many hours googling and researching sites that were risky. They were also immediately responsive when other sites never responded. They matched me with Shiane who is a delight to work with, even when I changed projects on her last minute. Her artistic background of storytelling is perfect for the children's product I am making. We've just started the project but with Shiane's level of professionalism and attention to detail, I expect it will be a smooth process.
