✯ KIND WORDS ✯
-
We've been trying to tell stories like this for years.
JW, World Monuments Fund

Issabella delivered such valuable insights and what direction we could go with the program we were building. She was creative beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Her attention to detail was off the charts. Typically people excel on one side of the creative > detail-oriented continuum. But Issabella is one of these rare people who are excellent across the entire spectrum.

Issabella has been able to capture and convey the true feeling and essence of what we do, the place and atmosphere. Truly extraordinary work!
