Working with Mel is such an easeful experience. With her genuine excitement to always try new things, I feel like there's really no idea that's too outlandish to create. We've collaborated on several projects and she'll always be my go-to because even when we're working on a big project it's always fun and I always feel taken care of.

This book was so important to me and I knew that Melarie was the perfect person to illustrate You Always Matter. Not only did she do an amazing job capturing the images that I needed to tell this story, she also gave me a level of creative freedom that allowed me to feel like the author and not just a client. She worked with my ideas and offered feedback on how we could make them better. The process was so collaborative and I felt like we created something really beautiful together.

What I loved about working with Melarie was her ability to take my vision and make it come alive. She has a wonderful personality which made what could have been a stressful part of my book writing process, a fun, and enjoyable experience. I can't wait to work with Melarie again and I highly recommend her for your book cover design needs!
