TESTIMONIALS
“We were super excited to work with Muxxi. Her work inspires people around the globe including us and it’s a really powerful mood booster too. Muxxi created a family of vibrant characters for ChattyFeet which added a fresh twist to our brand!”
“Incredibly talented and a wonderful person to work with, Muxxi has supported us with her involvement in several Inkygoodness exhibitions, in addition to producing her character fuelled illustrations for ad-hoc projects. Her passion for illustration is reflected in everything she does, and combined with her strong work ethic and positive nature she always over delivers. Her portfolio is ever-evolving with new ideas, and we hope to create more opportunities to work with her.”
“It was love at first sight when we discovered Muxxi’s majestic characters and her other-worldly landscapes. Collaborating to create a Momiji doll was such a satisfying process. Her ideas were always inspiring and we loved the end result. We’re extremely proud to have Muxxi as part of the Momiji family of guest designers.”
“Muxxi has created an original, fascinating surreal world, carefully painted and capturing her own mythology. Strong echoes from Miro. An underlying sense of fun and humor.”
“Working with Muxxi was a great experience. She’s one of the best illustrator we’ve ever worked with: unique, precise and very helpful. She created a magical world around Sammontana brand. We can’t wait to collaborate with her on future projects.”
