I had a few key ideas in mind, and Katie brought them to life with her incredible creativity and expertise. Her artwork was not only visually stunning but also deeply respectful of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives. She quickly understood the essence of the module and translated it beautifully into her design. From engaging discussions to her thoughtful approach, I thoroughly enjoyed the creative process guided by Katie. Her dedication and passion resulted in a unique and invaluable final product.”
