Karen Thomas is a wonderfully talented graphic designer. Not only does she find ways to make an editor's vague notions work, she's bursting with brilliant ideas of her own. I have Karen do all the covers and interiors for my imprint, and can attest to the endless parade of "oohs" and "ahhs" our books have elicited. She's reliable, easy to work with, and affordable, and she comes with my highest personal recommendation.

The slogan "one stop shopping" seems to have been coined for Karen Thomas of Intuitive Design International Ltd. My first book required a book cover that would pop and grab attention. I was fortunate to have this book featured on Canada's three top national TV news programs and the book cover always generated interest and intrigue. As Karen's business name implies, she has an exacting intuition for giving the customer what they need and want ...due to the success of my first book (which she also edited, arranged and provided the project management from start to finish) Karen designed the book jackets for my second and third books....and will soon do the same for my 4th book. Having recommended Karen to many authors and publishers, I'm always in awe of how her great reputation seems to precede the mention of her name. You can't go wrong with Karen on your team.

I was very impressed with the professional layout that Karen created for my book, Spend Smarter, Save Bigger. The chapter design was visually appealing and perfectly emphasized key points. Her accuracy was amazing – she took an imperfect manuscript and made it flawless. Plus the cover was eye catching, with an easy to read title and amusing as well. Overall, I was thrilled with the final product and highly recommend Karen for your next project.

I met Karen nearly a decade ago when I was writing my book. From Islam to Secular Humanism---A Philosophical Journey. Since then she has designed and formatted half a dozen of our books. She has been a great source of inspiration. The way she adds her
touch of creativity is impressive. I strongly recommend her to others.
