Mary Lali is an absolute treasure and the only artistic talent you will ever want to work with. She highly skilled at layout, typesetting and illustrations of any kind (think digital, watercolor, paper-cuts, you name it!), she is a great listener and supports your needs while gently making suggestions to maximize user/client experience. Her kind patience, prompt feedback, and positive attitude make her a pleasure to work. She is the whole package and will be my one and only for years to come.
