Kristin Keskey, Author and Illustrator
As the author of three children’s books-Being Grace © 2020; Being Grace–Bunnies on a Trolley © 2021; and Being Grace-Baba and the Great Trike Race © 2023-I needed a creative and versatile graphic designer to collaborate with me on visual designs for a companion journal to the Being Grace books series. Lourdes Dirden’s excellent technical skills and gifted artistic abilities fit the bill. Throughout our collaboration, Lourdes offered constructive and helpful suggestions. Additionally, she provided a selection of graphic designs which exceeded my expectations. With her excellent communication skills, artistic talent, and technical expertise, I was able to complete the Being Grace Journal in a timely manner. I look forward to working on future projects with Lourdes.
