“Afra did an excellent job creating a 100-page workbook for Money Mindset Academy. He was responsive, professional, and very patient throughout the revision process. He took feedback well, made adjustments as requested, and stayed with the project until we had a polished final product and the correct editable Canva files.
The workbook looks professional and consistent with our brand, and I appreciated his attention to detail and willingness to make sure everything was completed properly. I would absolutely work with Afra again and recommend him to anyone looking for Canva, workbook, or educational document design. “

“Good result overall. The scope of the project was quite large- over 20 pages, and as a result we probably struggled to keep the project focused and within a reasonable timeline. Good comms, easy to work with and an end result I’ m really happy with- just a little slower and with more versions than would have been ideal. I’d certainly work with this freelancer again in the future, and they ‘ll be my first contact with future projects. “
