Kind words from people who trust me

Tori is a wonderful visionary, artist, AND delightful to work with professionally. She has a strong social awareness that was able to translate the complexities of our discussions into approachable and creative designs. Professionally, she is timely, accountable, and always open to feedback to get illustrations on point.

I had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with Tori throughout my time at Studio Millie, and I can say without hesitation that she is the absolute tops. Incredibly talented, thoughtful and kind, she will blow you away with her clever, original and beautiful design and illustration work. Aside from her genuinely fantastic outputs, she is a dream to work with. She is generous with her time and knowledge, perceptive and curious with her problem-solving, and simply a joy to be around. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

If you are looking for someone who can take a vision and a lot of information and turn it into a beautiful and easily digestible (and shareable) final product, use Tori as a partner. With minimal direction Tori has supported us in creating an industry report and other graphics that help us get across our bold messages.
— Chantel Cabaj, Executive Director and Founder of DirectHer Network
I had the pleasure of working with Tori in the development of a 20-page industry report. The report described research results from a project conducted in partnership with MRU and DirectHer Network. Tori did an amazing job juggling multiple stakeholders and responded quickly and thoughtfully to feedback and requests. The infographics and layout she developed made the report reader friendly and made complex information feel accessible. I absolutely look forward to working with her again in the future.

10 out of 10 stars! Tori is an exceptional talent in illustration and design – of course – but I would be remiss to overlook what a pure joy it is to work with her from a human being level. She is lovely, organized, efficient, hilarious, and a true pleasure to work with. I will actively and aggressively seek out opportunities to work with her in the future.
— Caitlin Wharton, RGD, Creative Director & Brand Strategist at Studio Millie
I have had the pleasure of working with Tori on a range of projects over the past few years, from rebrands and custom illustrations to pitch decks and reports. We bring in Tori when our clients require graphic design that is smart – functional, thoughtful, with a cleverly personalized touch. While technically an external contractor, Tori brings a sense of ownership and professionalism to her work that gives us confidence with clients. She is prompt in her communication, diligent about deadlines, and exceptionally organized. Best of all, Tori’s designs delight. She takes the time to truly understand the needs of the client, delivering a final product that exceeds expectations. I always look forward to seeing the surprising, subtle, meaningful details she captures in her work.
— Chantal Padavattan, Senior Strategist & Client Relations at Gentle Lion Communications
I started working with Tori on a freelance basis while she was still in school. Her level of professionalism has always been top notch and equally matches her talent. Her love for illustration shows through in her unique style, however she has an ability to create a multitude of different styles pending the type of illustration and a clients brand. She is a well rounded designer, and has the ability to create well crafted, beautiful brands, and all the assets that make up a cohesive system from stationery to reports, websites and social media campaigns.
Working with Tori over the years has been a true pleasure. Always a team player, ready to lend a hand where she can. She knows where her strengths are, yet works to continually improve. She is empathetic, kind, generous and an all-round wonderful person! Once you work with her you’ll know.
