Iliana did wonderful job on my thesis cover and layout on such short notice! Her help made the last phase of my PhD life much easier! Her design is just simply fantastic! I enjoyed very much working with her - a creative, patient and professional designer!
Xuan XuPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
Being a person with limited graphic creativity and without knowledge on design packages, I found Iliana’s help invaluable. Also very important was that she helped me to keep track of the deadlines. Iliana did a wonderful job designing the cover and the layout of my thesis. I love my book! I highly recommend her services to anybody in their last phase of the PhD, when time is limited and deadlines have to be met.
Daylan Tzompa SosaPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
After some discussion on the subject of my thesis and pictures on what style I liked, Iliana presented a first draft, which almost exactly matched to what I had envisioned. Suggestions were quickly incorporated and the whole process was efficient, very enjoyable and I’m very happy with the end result!
Gerben HermesPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
Ik vond het een feestje om mijn proefschrift door Iliana te laten ontwerpen. Op basis van mijn wensen en ideeen maakte ze verschillende ontwerpen en werkte die steeds verder uit aan de hand van mijn feedback. Wat ik bijzonder heb gewaardeerd aan Iliana is dat ze net zo lang doorgaat tot je helemaal tevreden bent. Ik ben enorm blij met het eindresultaat!
Sarah Gerssen-GondelachPhD candidate (University of Utrecht)
The work of Iliana was simply great. She paid a great deal of attention to details and she was very fast in transforming broad ideas about the cover and layout into concrete and beautiful examples. Her knowledge of the thesis printing process made this final stage extremely easy. I cannot thank her enough.
Antonio CastellanosPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
Iliana did both the cover design and the layout of my thesis and I am very satisfied with the results. I came to Iliana with no clue of what to do for the cover of my PhD thesis, and after a brief and simple explanation of what I did during my research, she came up with a great concept for the cover design. She is very responsive, efficient and it is a pleasure to have worked with her. I definitely recommend her design studio!
Irene Alvarado QuesadaPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
It was a pleasure to work with Iliana. She is careful, patient, attentive, creative, responsive, communicative, curious, and a complete joy to work with. I found her website by accident, and am so lucky I did! I had some ideas about the layout of my book, but no ideas about the cover. She listened, asked good questions, and came up with beautifully designed book. I’ve received so many complements on her work. I would love to write another book just so I could work with her again.
Kashmiri Stec,PhD candidate (University of Groningen)
Iliana did the layout of my thesis, and helped me with finalising the cover. She has been very professional, and very promptly, even working night hours when we were getting close to the deadline. I’m sure if I had to do all the layout myself it would have taken me many more hours and a lot of frustration, and the final result would have looked way less nice. So to me, this was definitely worth the investment.
Ingrid van de LeemputPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
Iliana heeft zowel het ontwerpen van de omslag van mijn proefschrift (inclusief uitnodiging, stellingen en titelpagina’s) als het verzorgen van de lay-out van het binnenwerk voor haar rekening genomen. Hoewel ik dat laatste graag zelf had gedaan, heb ik er zeker geen spijt van dat ik dit alsnog uit handen heb gegeven. Ik ben erg blij met het eindresultaat!
Jannette van BeekPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
Getting my cover designed by Iliana was one of my best decisions during my thesis writing period. She handled the design very professionally and I experienced the process very customer friendly. It was a joy to finally hand out my thesis to my colleagues who all lowed the cover-design.
Jorin HoogenboomPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
The process of working with Iliana was great. Whilst involving me in every step of the process, she was able to transform abstract ideas and concepts into a wonderful and colorful design.
Joyce BrownePhD candidate (University of Utrecht)
It was a great pleasure to work together with Iliana. She understood immediately what kind of cover I had in mind, and the first draft was already nearly perfect. She works in a very transparent and flexible way. In the last stretch of my PhD it was a relief to have her by my side, designing my cover and preparing the lay-out. On top of her creative and professional skills, she is also a very pleasant person to work with.
Louise den UijlPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
Iliana helped me with the design of my PhD book cover and also checked my layout (actually helped me a lot). I’m very satisfied with the end result, my book looks amazing :). She is a great designer, full of awesome ideas and very easy going person. Communication was fast and efficient, it’s a pleasure to work with her. She listens carefully to what you want and turns it into a beautiful peace of art!!! She has experience not only with design but also with printing books and knows all the details about making the best looking PhD thesis. I would definitely recommend her design studio to anyone!
Tatyana RadoevaPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
Afgelopen vrijdag heb ik het geprinte proefschrift opgehaald bij GVO en ben ik begonnen met het uitdelen ervan aan mijn begeleiders en collega’s. Ik krijg al veel leuke feedback op de omslag en de layout. Bedankt voor alle moeite, ik ben er erg tevreden mee.
Chris WijnerPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
I came to Iliana without any clear picture of my thesis cover. She helped me find out what I like by asking questions. Iliana is an experienced and professional designer who always takes time to dig out what you want, and make it better than expected. I am very happy to have her helping me with my thesis design while I am so busy with preparing defense, publishing my work. She takes a lot of responsibility and always give valuable suggestions for the design, she also has good contact with printers. In the end, I had a beautifully designed thesis book at hand, with heavy work from Iliana. I would definitely recommend Iliana to my PhD colleagues.
Yehua LiPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
When I got into contact with Iliana, I was quite lost about how to translate the idea in my head to a nice and appropriate cover for my dissertation. The first skype contact with her calmed me down, as she tackled the task very professionally and listened to me. She was clear about the expectations and agreement, which was very reassuring. Iliana was able to hit my taste and come up with a first draft that only needed minor changes to become the final version. Even for the many small changes to make it perfect she did not get tired of applying my suggestions, and I am thankful for the great communication about the different versions. A designers mind can be quite different from a researchers mind, but we solved the misconceptions before they became hampering. Also, Iliana went out of her way to fit my timeline, which I appreciated very much. I can only recommend Iliana as a kind person and able designer, that somehow manages to produce exactly what you want.
Ida NissenPhD candidate (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
Working with Iliana was an absolute pleasure. With her professionalism and attention to detail, the thesis delivery process went incredibly smooth. Iliana is extremely efficient as my suggestions/ideas were quickly adapted to my liking. This resulted in the design of a thesis cover and layout turning out better than I could have ever imagined it! Thank you lliana for such an enjoyable experience!
Steph van de WallPhD candidate (University of Groningen)
What I appreciate the most about working with Iliana, is how efficient, easygoing and smooth our communication was. Paired with her skills this led to a brilliant execution. There was no need to say anything twice, all of my ideas were incorporated and further improved by her creativity. A great book cover helps you tell the story, and when the topic is abstract then that is a tough task, but Iliana delivered. She went the extra mile, even past the last-minute changes, just to make sure everything was as it should be. I believe there is no cutting corners in her work and I highly recommend her. The whole process was fast, enjoyable and stress-free, exactly what a PhD candidate needs in the last weeks before their defense!
Zeljka MadzarevicPhD candidate (University of Delft)
As being a person with very limited graphical skills, I decided to ask a graphical designer to help me in designing the cover of my PhD thesis. From the first meeting onwards, Iliana understood immediately how I wanted my cover to look like. It only took us 2 versions to get to the final cover. I would strongly recommend her work to others, not only for her creativity and skills but also for her transparent communication and hands-on mentality.
Ilse RemmersPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
Working with Iliana was wonderful. I really liked the design she made for my cover and for the layout of my thesis. Communication with her was super easy and although I changed my mind several times, she listened to me with patience and professionalism. She pays a lot of attention to small details and for sure the best was to have everything done so nicely and quickly. Thanks again!
Mayra Alejandra Diosa ToroPhD candidate (University of Groningen)
One of the best choices I made near the end of my PhD adventure, was asking a skilled expert like Iliana to take care of the cover and layout of my PhD thesis. She did it very quickly and meticulously at the same time, based on my preferences and requests, resulting in a thesis that looks appealing and professional and with which I’m very happy!
Canan ZiylanPhD candidate (Wageningen University& Research)
Although the topic was relatively different from her previous work, Iliana was not afraid of the challenge and tackled it superbly! Initial ideas were combined and worked out into an awesome cover! I am delighted with the outcome but also with the communication that we had during the process, Iliana’s response to comments and further development of suggestions. Keep up the great work!
Slavisa JovicPhD candidate (Technical University of Eindhoven)
Iliana guided us through the unpredictable process of creating a new visual identity. Her creativity and talent were highly appreciated in our team, and her reactivity and quick response times made for a smooth collaboration. It was a pleasure working with Agilecolor!
Tulipan ZollingerCEO in Zollinger Bio (Switzerland)
I took a course given by Iliana during my PhD, and what I learned helped me with formatting my own thesis, and I’m using many of the skills in my daily activities now! I can highly recommend her courses, very inspiring!
