    Testimonials

    “

    Ruth worked on a particular book project that required a special sensitivity and empathy, and she approached the project professionally and as if by magic just seemed to know what the book and the authors needed. No task was too hard or difficult for her, and everything was presented to us in an open and creative way, which made working with Ruth a pleasure, and I certainly intend to work with her again in the future.

    “

    I have worked with Ruth for over thirteen years, during which she has designed some great covers for Omnibus Press, always works hard to ensure she hits our tight deadlines and is never less than a pleasure to work with.’

    David Barraclough,
    Managing Editor, Omnibus Press

    “

    Ruth was an amazing asset to the team when we put together my ‘Spacebound Apes’ book for Neil Cowley Trio. What she designed was always something that would far exceed my expectations. It was always a beautiful mix between the aesthetic, the artistic and the practical. I really felt Ruth’s passion for her work in every contribution she made. Everyone should have Ruth on their team!’
