“I would have no hesitation in recommending Tolmeia for any of your illustration or creative design needs – she is very proactive, asks great questions and her designs were well above my expectation, both in terms of what I had envisaged and briefed but also in terms of delivering eye-catching and engaging illustrated gifs for Fairtrade’s Live Fair acquisition campaign. The creatives delivered both on the engagement and conversion objectives and helped towards getting the results we needed to achieve.”

“Tolly worked with creativity, efficiency and professionalism on a very tight deadline and gave really helpful advice on additional logistical questions, such as setting up a GIPHY channel. The final GIFs were amazing: they reflected the brief faithfully while still bringing her creative flair. We would definitely work with Tolly again to create more animations.”
