  • She made the process so EASY and so FUN!

    I worked with Chelsea to create my very first children’s book and she made the process so easy and so fun! Her creativity and beautiful designs encouraged my own creativity as we kept each other inspired. Chelsea is such a beautiful soul who creates magical illustrations. Little Yogi Tayla really came to life with Chelsea’s designs and she was so patient with me during this process. I highly recommend Chelsea from Visual Bloom Designs! Thank you for creating something special with me.
