身為兩位寶貝的媽媽,Cani完全理解「早安古典」以音樂伴隨孩子度過每天晨光時間的專輯的商品定位。開發過程中,Cani掌握許多獨具巧思的細節,同時,也將家庭中,每天早上出門前,各種高潮迭起的親子互動,精準地表現在插圖上。
與Cani的合作過程順利且愉快,她是我非常推薦的插畫家。
-KidsRead總編輯 Allen LEE
很幸運的遇上Cani,在設計印花及其他產品包裝的過程中,用專業的角度給予我最適合的建議,從溝通的過程會發現Cani是對畫畫充滿熱情的人,她會花非常多的時間了解客人的需求及想法,這點非常重要!因此她會站在客人的角度思考及不斷的引導,不要小看這些過程,因為多了這些小細節會讓設計成品多了更多的生命力,Cani就是擁有這樣的專業及魅力
謝謝您,讓我光看草圖就非常驚艷!成品非常滿意也很棒!期待未來我們有更多的合作!

Cani邏輯思維很清楚,可以很快的抓到我想要的感覺設計。
常常對老師說:「我喜歡那個感覺?!」
對!「那個感覺」就是我想要的,可是我無法形容出來;但老師可以很清楚的引導我說出「那個感覺」。這讓我覺得蠻厲害的。
重點是,引導後更能精準設計出我喜歡的風格樣式!
這是與老師第三次合作,未來還會有下一次,下下次⋯。
也在這邊將Cani推薦給您們。

When our Creative Director found Cani's work online we were both really excited by the freshness of her line and her quirky animal characters. We knew she was perfect for the series of baby board books we were planning and signed her up immediately! I'm glad to say we were not disappointed - the books have turned out wonderfully and Cani was a joy to work with.
當我們的創意總監發現Cani的作品時, 她充滿新鮮感的線條和獨特的動物角色讓我們好興奮! 我們知道她就是這本寶寶硬頁書的完美人選, 馬上就跟他簽約了! 我很高興我們沒有失望-這系列的書成果非常棒, 而且跟Cani合作是件很愉快的事!
