Revel Durham says, "We worked with Mayanthi to create a mural in our studio downtown. First and foremost, she does great work. She delivered (and executed on) a beautiful design that has become a visual focal point of our space. She listened to our vision for the project and helped to bring that vision to life.Perhaps more importantly, she is a joy to work with. She communicates very clearly, sets (and meets) reasonable deadlines, and has the type of flexibility/adaptability that is crucial in working with small businesses. She was a joy to have in our studio during the project and we are lucky to have had her work as a fixture of our space during our first year. We are also fortunate to have her as part of the Triangle community!We had never worked with a muralist/artist like this before, so even if you are new to this work don't hesitate to reach out. Mayanthi will help guide you through the process and you'll be left with a wonderful result!"See more

We had an absolutely incredible experience working with Roberto at Studio Madnis. He was extremely responsive and communicative, and he grasped the goal and vision for our animation project perfectly. Additionally, he completed our project with impressive timeliness and efficiency, and incorporated our feedback very well into the final product. We highly recommend working with him, and will definitely be returning for any future animation needs!

If you’re looking for an illustrator, hire Julia. JUST DO IT. I was in search of someone who could help me recreate a concept I found online, but with some personalized touches. I wanted to draw a few of my friends as cartoons for a birthday project. I’m so glad I found Julia. She was professional, highly responsive, and is an artist with a wide range of styles. Most of the work displayed in her reviews lean towards realism, so I was a bit skeptical about my animated piece. However, I was blown away with the end result! She took a live photo I sent and drew my friends in cartoon form perfectly. I ended up making t-shirts for the 3 birthday boys and stickers for our guests--both were a hit! Many also commented on how well she captured their features in her drawing, so we knew exactly who each character was. Seriously cannot recommend Julia enough and look forward to working with her on future projects. Pro-tip: If you have a really busy schedule or are not able to be consistent with texts, I’d recommend scheduling time with Julia to go over your timeline and expectations upfront, since she also often draws late at night. She’s super friendly, responsive and helpful!
