TESTIMONIALS

Kat Q Merewether illustrated my children's picture book: The Boy Who Could See Only Purple. That's Right! (currently at press) From the very first meeting with Kat, through to the final submission to the publisher, Kat was exceptional, extraordinary and professional at all times and under all conditions. We worked together on concept, drafts and details when necessary, and Kat was completely trustworthy in taking the project to completion creating a style for the book (which will continue for the rest of the series) and illustrations which are precise, yet creative, full of beauty and sensitivity, colour and light. Kat is, in my opinion, one of the highest ability illustrators I have seen. I feel privileged to have her as the illustrator of my first book.

Katherine is quite simply the best illustrator I have ever hired. Her understanding of clients needs is very perceptive, she is personable and easy to work with, and most importantly her work is exquisite. I give her the highest possible recommendation.

Kat’s work on the design of FreshEd has been incredible. She has created everything from the logo and brand through to the characters and workbook design. Together with her team at Design on Q she has worked closely with Campbell on the creation of everything to date. With this being an ongoing process everyone is excited to see what else she creates in the months and years ahead.
