What Clients have said about working with me:
“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Esther on new packaging designs for Seattle Chocolate. Her body of work is impressive but I was first taken by her slightly quirky illustration of Seattle of someone on a bicycle with Space Needle in the background. The loose lines created some movement and the touch of whimsy and use of color, really fit our brand. The process was easy and results were really fun!” - Kirsty Ellison, Seattle Chocolate
"Esther's work from beginning to end was incredibly professional. Her ability to listen to the challenge and come up with a solution was remarkable. We are so so so happy with the result and can't wait to work with Esther again on future projects." - Kimberly Witchey, Seattle University
"Just loved working with Esther. She was easy to communicate with and had some great ideas on how to keep our projects on budget without compromising the design quality. Her work is imaginative, professional and done on timeline. We are very pleased with the artwork we have received from her. Thank you!" - AnneMarie Barros, Design Imports
Working with Esther was a breeze. She delivered on time and her illustrations added a lovely visual texture to the package. I really appreciate that she was able to deliver all the elements in layers which made adjustments so much easier for me! - Monica Fuentes, Houstonia Magazine
"We were delighted to feature Esther Loopstra's drawings in an issue of our magazine. Because she was the first illustrator we'd ever commissioned work from, we were a bit unsure of the process, but Esther was so professional and punctual -- and such great fun to collaborate with -- that it gave us the confidence to pursue a more illustration-heavy aesthetic for our magazine going forward. We absolutely look forward to working with her again!" - Lilly Chow, The Cleaver Quarterly
"Esther maintains her personal style, while be open and receptive to direction to meet client needs. She is great to work with."
