TESTIMONIALS
As the technical director at Studio Bee Productions we have used Franki as a story board artist on several projects ranging from web site design to video game intro and GUI UX design. She is very competent and able to work within budget and deadline parameters. She is great at being able to comprehend styles and themes needed for the project. We have also used her photographic skills for product shots and location images throughout the years of our business relationship. Her flexibility with mediums has kept us going back to her for many of our projects where multimedia applications were needed.
