“Rick is absolutely phenomenal to work with and a dynamic designer. He far exceeded my wildest expectation...Rick is a talented designer who immediately saw my vision and created a cover that can easily go head to head against Madison Avenue[s] Finest. If you’re looking for an amazing cover... look no further than Rick and Instinctive Design.”
—Ed Felder, author of It's Money in the Bank
“It was a pleasure to work with Richard [Rick], He did everything he said he would and in a timely manner. I gave him the concept of the cover and he designed it to perfection. I’d definitely work with him again.”
—Evette Johnson, Alegna Media Publishing, Love, Lies and Drama
“I can only say one thing—If instinctive design bids on your project and you do not select them, you are an idiot! Rick was a consummate professional, rates completely reasonable, responded to my vision by taking it up a notch that left me nearly speechless. I am not kidding - do not waste your time considering anyone else. You will not have any regrets selecting this artist.”
—Thomas Gerke, The Brother William Saga series
