Testimonials
It’s exciting working with Bernie! She is that rare combination of someone who has a brilliant, vibrant imagination and the skills to bring it to life as real environments or lived experiences. Each time I have worked with her, she has listened to the project brief and fulfilled it in every respect while somehow making or realising a piece of work which no-one could have believed possible in the time or with the money available. She is incredibly professional while being good-humoured and friendly ( even when under pressure!) and generous with her ideas; she is good at working with non-professionals - young people, children, the public in general - as well as with her peers - a not inconsiderable talent!
