"Working with character designer Deanna Hewitt has been such a treat. Deanna brought to life my characters with such care and joy, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She’s been professional and adaptable throughout the design process, offered her own references and insight which made the development process richer, and was always incredibly responsive to feedback. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her - I would work with her again in a heartbeat!"- Wendy Hanna, writer/creator ‘Jidoo & Ibis’
