“Maria is a wonderful designer to work with—dynamic and creative while being able to balance multiple needs and interests to craft a design that works.”

“Given the choice, I would choose to work with Maria Kauffman every time. Maria has a true sense of what makes a children’s book great. Her hard work, good eye, and natural sense of design and creativity help push each of the books we’ve worked on together to be the best they can be. She always goes the extra mile to make each book shine. Maria is a joy to work with and a talented designer.”
