TESTIMONIALS

Sandy Goijburg: VP off-air creative, Nickelodeon

“It was a pleasure to work with Fionna. She was quick to respond to our requests and to turn around our notes. She transformed our talent into awesome illustrations and the addition of her art to our design elevated our key art to another level.”

Claire Clifton Coles: Picture Director, Glamour Magazine UK

“Fionna is great to work with. She delivered a final image that exceeded our expectations on a tricky project. She was hard working and carried out all amends to our exacting standards quickly and efficiently. Really fantastic illustrations and a dream to work with.”

Myriam Wilson: Coordinator, Production Management, Nick Jr

“Fionna was an absolute pleasure to work with! She took direction very well, she was patient as the creatives on my team figured out exactly the direction we wanted to go with the project, and delivered a final piece that made stakeholders very happy. She added a fun flair to an already bright and colorful character, and I am sure the Nick Jr. audience will enjoy another way to experience Sunny Day.”

Albert Amigo: Senior Art Director, Scholastic Inc. Classroom Magazines

“I recently worked with Fionna for the first time and it was a great experience. She is very professional and quick to turn around multiple sketches and in the end an amazing final piece. Her job was to bring some pop and fun to what would have been a typical photo solution to an opener for a story about environmentalist Rachel Carson. I would recommend working with Fionna and look forward to working with her again.”

Kelly Roberts: Art Director, Junior Scholastic

“Working with Fionna was an absolute joy. She is very communicative and professional, and the final illustrations were fun, bright and exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely work with her again!”

Tara Scarcello: Art Director, Harlequin

Erin Douglas: Art Director, Women’s Running

“Working with Fionna was a dream. Even though she was on the other side of the world (I'm in DC and she is in Australia) she was super responsive to emails and quick on edits. I love her playfulness with color and pattern - it was exactly what I was looking for.”

Jennifer Lew: Creative Director, PAPYRUS

“Working with Fionna was a pleasure! She has a fun, fresh style and was super easy to work with. She gave us exactly what we were looking for!”

Anna Taschini: Creative Supervisor, Poke House

“Fionna was an absolute pleasure to work with: from the start she understood the brief and through each revision added her own personal style to the project, elevating it. Very good communication despite being on the opposite side of the world and her detailed-oriented approach is refreshing: it meant all issues were either brought up beforehand and discussed during briefing stage or immediately dealt without causing delays.”

Melissa Farris: Creative Director, Union Square & Co.

“Fionna was wonderful to work with—thoughtful, creative, and precise. She delivered everything on time or ahead of schedule, was a great communicator, and gave us a fantastic book cover. We love Fionna, and would work with her again any time!”

Paul Blachford: Art Editor, MacFormat

“It was an excellent experience working with Fionna. She was very professional, and the work was top quality and exceeded our expectations, also it was delivered early! As a commissioner, I can not ask for a better experience.”

Martin McGinn: Senior Creative Producer, Grey London

“I recently commissioned Fionna to produce a portrait of one of the employees of the agency that I work at, I chose Fionna because of her fresh and original style. During the process Fionna went above and beyond of what would normally be required from an artist to help make the portrait really look like the person whom it was intended for. I would recommend working with Fionna any time and look forward to working with her again.”

Vincent Varney: Senior Account Manager, 1000heads

“It was a delight to work with Fionna on a series of illustrations for a client. Her collaborative and responsive approach ensured that our client was thrilled with the finished product, and her artwork looked amazing of course. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”

Ali Harris: Counsellor, Ali Harris Therapy

“I have admired Fionna's beautiful illustrations for a while now, and was very excited when she agreed to do an illustration of me for my therapy website. Fionna and her agent, Alice, were extremely friendly and easy to deal with, both communicating with me very clearly and quickly. Fionna seemed able to put things together faster than I expected, but always with great care and attention to detail - she clearly wanted to make sure that she understood exactly what I was looking for in the final design, and she was very obliging in making sure I had the files in the requested formats. I am very happy with the final result and look forward to commissioning further illustrations in the future.”

Taylor Irwin: Associate Creative Director, LevLane

“Fionna was amazing to work with! The process was super streamlined which made the whole experience a breeze. She was quick to turnaround the sketches for approval and even quicker with edits. She worked with us when we had some last-minute changes and produced the most beautiful, colorful artwork. Our client was extremely happy with the final product. We were looking to take an already established brand look to the next level and she exceeded our expectations!”

Spencer Scott

“I just had a wonderful experience collaborating with Ms. Fernandes on my project. Not only was she very friendly, but she also followed direction extremely well, had great response time with any questions or concerns I had, and most importantly she has worked the fastest out of any illustrator I've ever come in contact with. This could have been a challenging piece for some, with lots of great detail, but Ms. Fernandes handled it with ease, talent, and with the up most professionalism. But you know the one thing that has amazed me the most after receiving my artwork from her and studying it right now was despite the concept I gave her which to some could be perceived as dark, she injected so much life, fun, and her own personality into it that in turn it has cause me to redirect the tone of my project her piece is based on into something I think could be even more entertaining, and greater; that to me is the mark of not only an exceptional artist, but a great one. Fionna Fernandes is AMAZING!”

Morgan Graham

“It was a pleasure to work with Fionna. She was very good at communication and made sure to check with me every step of the way. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous and I'd love to work with her again in the future. Thank you!!”
