My sister and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Dorota on our passion project. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and truly understood the purpose of our project and the ideas we had in our heads. Her ability to translate our vision into beautiful, captivating illustrations was nothing short of impressive, and her attention to detail and creativity brought our story to life in ways we could have only imagined. We couldn’t be more grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and the stunning artwork she delivered, and we highly recommend working with this amazingly talented children's book illustrator.

Dorota has been incredible to work with. I stressed over finding the right illustrator for my book and when I found Dorota I knew right away that she would be the right choice. Not only her illustrations, which are so full of life, so vibrant, so, so good, but the way she works is so great. She is a true collaborator, which is what I wanted. She could take my ideas, descriptions, vision for the book and completely bring them to life. But even better than that, she brought so many of her own amazing ideas and concepts to the table and my book is so much better because of all of her input. She was so easy to communicate with, so willing to take time to jump on a Zoom call to brainstorm, so flexible, and so knowledgeable about the self publishing industry. I cannot recommend Dorota highly enough.

It was a pleasure working with Dorota. Dorota was both patient and informative. I am a first-time book writer and had a lot of questions. She answered my questions in a timely manner. I was impressed with Dorota’s illustration for my book. She has great communication skills and attention to detail. She was able to capture the essence of the story perfectly and brought the characters to life in a way that I never could have imagined. I enjoyed working with Dorota and look forward to working with her in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with the incredibly talented Dorota on my children's picture book, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Her illustrations were vibrant, playful, and wonderfully detailed. She truly went above and beyond to bring the story to life in a way that was both beautiful and adorable. This was my first picture book, and Dorota’s professionalism, kindness, and promptness made the collaboration a breeze. I highly recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Dorota!

“Working with Dorota was a delight from the start of the project to the end. She was responsive and honest about her time constraints and expectations when taking on a new project. I was so pleased when our schedules aligned, and we were able to move forward with the illustrations for my first children’s book. Dorota listened to my vision for the story and its characters. The illustrations she created were truly magical. The vibrant colours, the details and the emotions behind the illustrations were all truly inspired. I could not have been happier with the illustrations, and I am beyond pleased with how the book turned out. Dorota was easy to work with, a complete professional and an extremely talented illustrator. I look forward to my next project with her. Highly recommend her.”

“Collaborating with Dorota on the illustrations for The Hat Monster has been an amazing experience from start to finish. Her hand drawn style adds an element of magic to every picture she creates. This special quality sets her work apart from other digital illustrations. Watching my story come to life through Dorota’s exceptional attention to detail and wonderful sense of humor has been a true delight.”
—Trisha Keesmaat, author of The Hat Monster
“Working with Dorota on my first picture book, THE SEMICOLON, was such a rewarding experience! I was initially drawn to Dorota’s work not only because of her obvious skill as an artist, but her ability to think outside the box and bring abstract ideas to life through her art, which she did for my story with terrific attention to detail and sensitivity to its difficult themes. She immediately and intuitively understood my vision for the book with very little direction. Dorota brought a ton of creative ideas to the project and the final product exceeded my expectations – I can’t wait to share our hard work with the world!”
— Britt Sayler, author of The Semicolon
“I was very fortunate to find Dorota on the vast wilderness of the Internet. One rarely comes across people like her, who are not only kind and interesting to talk to, but also possess such incredible talent and the unique ability to transform ideas of the written word into stunning illustrations. Dorota is an amazing professional! Working with her was pure pleasure. She dove deep into my book, brought up creative ideas, and executed to the highest standards with impeccable attention to detail and lots of love for the material. Such partnerships are rare and are treasured forever. I look forward to continuing working with Dorota on the future projects!.”

“I found Dorota's work online while searching for an illustrator for my children's book. I was immediately drawn to her realistic, colourful illustrations. After reading my book she immediately had visions that not only supported my own visions, but provided other valuable suggestions. She is an absolute gem to work with. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and supportive along every step of the way. She finished the work in the time frame we agreed upon and went above and beyond what was required of her. I highly recommend this talented lady..”
