“Ann-Marie was one of the editors at the Northwest Asian Weekly for whom I wrote on a regular basis. She is passionate about design and photography -- her main tasks at the paper -- and I have found her to be attentive and conscientious when we have worked together. On an artistic level, she has also photographed me. Her skills in this field are exceptional, especially portraiture. She knows just how to capture the essence of her subjects." Pat Tanumihardja, author of The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook

Her creative skills have added to our efforts in a multitude of projects including web design, branding, illustration and design. She brings a unique vision to all her projects and passion for the process. She also has a great sense of humor!” Stewart Emery, author of "Do You Matter? How great design will makes people love your company"
