Illustration
If you like the artwork you see on this website and you’re looking for an illustrator and/or a book designer, I highly recommend Jessica B. Urey. I have worked with Jessica on several projects including book dummies and illustrations, custom-made dolls, costuming, and more. She is an author-illustrator and character designer. Jessica created the logo for my business and illustrations for my website. You can find more about Jessica at jbureyart.com and can view her time-lapse drawing videos here.

If you like the website and you’re looking for a website developer/designer, I highly recommend Britt Urey.

Britt provided development and design for my website and walked me through it step by step. You can contact Britt at privateerbmu@gmail.com.
