KUDOS
Little Shiva is a dynamic talent. For the last three decades I've worked with some of the best designers in the world on brands like Nestlé, CitiBank, MasterCard and Johnson & Johnson, not to mention publishers like Condé Nast and TIME and she is one of the finest, and, importantly, conceptually fluent graphic designers I've ever worked with.
She's not going to be everybody's cup of tea, few great designers are. But if you are an open-minded client looking to stand out from the crowd, check out her work on-line, and then call her. You won't be disappointed.
If you want ordinary good, go elsewhere. If you want extraordinary great, go to Little Shiva. I did, and will again.

Little Shiva is one of the most talented graphic artists I've ever met or worked with (and I know LOTS of graphic artists). She's over-the-top in creativity, and delivers beautiful, engaging designs that are totally consistent/appropriate for the audience you are targeting -- from avant garde to Big Corporate (for my gigs). i.e. She "gets" it, and will give you good advice. She is conscientious and reliable on timing and cost, and is very fun/easy to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough. She won't let you down.” Top qualities: great results, good value, creative.
