— Ryan Stark

Owner and Videographer at Starks Studios

“As a project manager and an author, it’s great to be able to work with someone on the design side like Troy. My experience with him working on multiple book covers for my projects was not only did Troy have the skills to execute a good design, but he was also able to receive and process information on the front end well. This resulted in having a number of good comps for consideration. He also was able to adjust and adapt the back cover design as needed when the book series expanded.”
