We have worked with Liesel for over three years. She is a powerful creative thinker whose work and contribution has enabled “The Thinker” to establish itself in a niche market. Liesel is extremely hard-working and has always produced her assignments on time. She has a wonderful personality and is easy to work with. – Dr. Essop Pahad-Editor and Founder of The Thinker.

We have worked with Liesel on many an edition across a wide range of publications, and she is the island of calm in the ocean of deadline storms. Creative, thorough, client-centric and the bonus - she can spell. Fantastic person to have on your side and your team. – Charl du Plessis, Veteran Publisher & Editor
