Testimonials

Dr. Olivier Namy

Université Paris-Saclay

I was very happy to work with Sonhita on the illustration for our project. She found the best way to illustrate our publication in a very constrained schedule. She was very attentive and successfully took our requests into account. Her illustrations are stunning. I will be very happy to work with her again. I highly recommend her as an illustrator without hesitation.

Prof. Hal Drakesmith

University of Oxford

It was a real pleasure to work with Son to develop a sketch and an idea for a cover picture into a completed full colour striking image. Son was efficient and highly responsive to suggestions for alterations and alternatives throughout the process and this helped finesse the final cover to produce a result that we were very pleased with. Therefore, I would highly recommend working with Son.
